Of course, this can be achieved by something like this:
syntax region SomeRegion start="\I\i*{" end="}" contains=Inner
syntax match Inner "\(\I\i*{\)\@<={[^}]*}" contained
but it seems overkill to me: is there any simpler way of doing the
same without having to repeat the "start" pattern and ignore it using a
zero-width assertion?
