Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gedit
Gedit's syntax highlighting for 'sh' actually is for bash.
Functions and arrays are not valid Bourne shell, and scripts starting with
'/bin/sh' which use these will fail on:
* Bourne shell (/bin/sh)
* Bash version 3 and later on many systems, depending on the compile time
options of bash. If bash version 3's default POSIX compatibility has been
disabled, the behavior may be demonstrated using 'bash --posix file.sh'
Simple fix: mark the syntax highlighting currently labeled as 'sh' as
being 'bash'.
Extended fix: include an actual Bourne shell syntax highlighting mode,
which marks invalid bourne shell syntax in red.
