I'm very familiar with the differences in POSIX shell syntax and
Bash-specific constructs, and I already explicitly use "#!/usr/bin/env
bash" for all Bash scripts and "#!/bin/sh" for things I want to be
portable. Changing the symlink on my Debian box does fix the "function"
keyword highlighting. It seems strange to me that symlink resolution
takes precedence over the shebang line.
