Re: Syntax Highlighting Minor Groups

Okay, I went here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1199267/braces-and-operators-coloring-in-vim-for-c/1199578#1199578

Tried the following code to see the operator classification:

:map <F3> :echo "hi<" . synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),1),"name") . '>
trans<' . synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),0),"name") . "> lo<" .
synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."),col("."),1)),"name") . ">"<CR>

And apparently there's no group for the brackets, ++, ;, etc. operators.
Which means we would have to do this with pattern matching huh?
