My understanding is that the OP wants a generic range to be
defined by a syntax block...not just for ":s" commands, but for
any Ex command that takes a range, such as
:{cComment}d
to delete all the lines that have cComment highlighting (yes, one
butts against line-wise vs. character-wise issues here, but
ex-ranges are always line-wise unless you employ workarounds) or
:{cComment}>>
to indent all commented lines.
I might be mis-understanding the OP, but it sounds like
SrchRplcHiGrp only does ":s" commands.
