It will not work because the 'contained' rules require a 'contains'
counterpart.

It means one has to examine the existing highlight groups and append
custom elements to its 'contains' attribute.

What I ended up doing was:
- Create a '_global.vim' file in '~/.vim/after/syntax/'.
- Create symlinks to this file for each relevant file types.
