In fact, there are likely to be somewhat more bash users than posix users. If syntax/sh.vim can't automatically and correctly guess which shell type is actually in use, it uses the old Bourne shell syntax. This means that posix/kornshell/bash users are likely to find things that are highlighted as Errors -- which means they're thereby encouraged to look it up in the documentation and telling syntax/sh.vim which one they want.
This complaint of yours is common; about 50% insist that I should use bash as default (market penetration), about 50% insist, like you, that I should use posix (rfc). The default chosen is done to encourage folks to make the correct decision for themselves. Regards, Chip Campbell -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
