This is probably because I have set the 'iskeyword' option to what the
shell actually recognises as a word character - only whitespace and
special shell characters |&;<>() break words in shell scripts.
It's quite important to get this right - otherwise Vim would
misinterpret stuff, e.g. take "if[" as "if" compound followed by "["
test, while in fact it's just a single (valid!) command name.
In theory, it could be fixed by replacing every "\<" and "\>" in
patterns by equivalent that doesn't depend on 'iskeyword' value, but
that would be neither pretty nor maintainable. Is anyone aware of other
possible solutions?
