Thanks for posting this. A few suggestions. Categories:
Change explanation in comment section to three subcategories: to end of line, nestable pairs, and non-nestable pairs. Put XML and HTML in non-nestable category. Add a category for evaluation of a string expression e.g. eval in Perl. Add a category for quoting that either 1 evaluates internal variables, e.g. "..." in sh, Perl etc. 2 does not evaluate internal variables, e.g. '...' in sh, Perl etc. Languages: Try to add more scripting languages, e.g. sh, csh, bash, and awk. Try to add more details about SQL (and maybe label as SQL-89, SQL-1999, where they differ).
