matlab and matchit

Hello!

I sent this to Benji Fisher over a week ago; is he still active?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been annoyed for awhile at [vimruntime]/ftplugin/matlab.vim's %
handling -- which, of course, depends upon matchit. I've attached
"junk.m" which illustrates the problem; place cursor on "for", hit "%" a
few times, and you'll see the cursor bounce to the wrong "end". Place
the cursor on "switch", press "%" a few times, and the cursor gets stuck
on "end".

The runtime-distribution has

if exists("loaded_matchit")
let s:conditionalEnd = '\(([^()]*\)\@!\<end\>\([^()]*)\)\@!'
let b:match_words = '\<if\>\|\<while\>\|\<for\>\|\<switch\>:' .
\ s:conditionalEnd . ',\<if\>:\<elseif\>:\<else\>:' .
\ s:conditionalEnd
endif


This seems to me to treat if/while/for/switch as equivalents -- so I've
tried the following variant:

if exists("loaded_matchit")
" let s:conditionalEnd = '\(([^()]*\)\@!\<end\>\([^()]*)\)\@!'
let s:conditionalEnd = '^\s*end\>'
let b:match_words = '\<if\>:\<elseif\>:\<else\>:'.s:conditionalEnd.','.
\
'\<while\>:\<break\>:\<continue\>:'.s:conditionalEnd.','.
\
'\<for\>:\<break\>:\<continue\>:'.s:conditionalEnd.','.
\
'\<switch\>:\<case\>:\<otherwise\>:'.s:conditionalEnd
endif

So, neither variant works. Am I doing something wrong or is there a
problem with matchit?

Hope this is fixable,
Chip Campbell
