There are at least two bugs in vim syntax highlighting. It occurs when one
leaves out optional spaces in a List or Dictionary.
For example:
let foo = ['one','two','three']
shows distractingly bizarre highlighting. The second and third elements
have only their first letter colored, and that color is different from the
color of the first element. No such problem exists if there are spaces
after *ALL* the commas. This problem is relatively recent (like within the
last few months sometime).
A similar problem for Dictionaries exists. For instance:
let foo = {'one':'Washington', 'two':'Lincoln'}
Here, the values are uncolored even though the keys are colored. Also, the
lefthand single-quotes for the values are uncolored, but their righthand
single quotes are colored. Both the keys and the values should be colored.
No such problem exists if there are spaces after the colons.
The latter problem (or something VERY close to it) has been around for a
really long time.
