Well, obviously I have to come to the defense of vim as well :-). I'm not
sure what year vim got the capability, but I suspect around as long as
emacs.
This isn't for exactly the same language use case, but finding a quick
example on the internet:
unlet b:current_syntaxsyntax include @srcBash syntax/bash.vim
syntax region srcBashHi start="..." end="..." keepend contains=@srcBash
unlet b:current_syntaxsyntax include @srcHTML syntax/html.vim
syntax region srcHTMLHi start="^...$" end="^...$" keepend contains=@srcHTML
This is easy to adapt to either the named function convention:
`html('<h1>Hello</h1>')` or to the
standardized-comment convention.
In general, I find any proposal to change Python "because then my text
editor would need to
change to accommodate the language" to be unconvincing.
