Hi Christian and Doug, thanks for your quick replies!
I've just extracted all the ~2500+ keywords (including context duplicates) from the Algol 68 Genie sources and visually inspected the highlighting. There's some things I saw that need a fix. I'm going to fix the missing matches and provide you then with the files containing the keywords and information about the necessary changes in the syntax file. - I hope that's okay for you to work with. BTW, it would be good to be able to work on the version that Doug had checked in and modified, but I don't know how to get the last version of the changed source file from github/vim. Hints are welcome. - Thanks.

Yes, I believe a sample file would be extremely helpful. We can then turn this into a syntax test.
