Hi
I am trying to make Vim and JavaScript working together.
And I found the default syntax file for JavaSctipt[1] have a bug.
The problem is group names are camelCase.
The guide, Portable syntax file layout[2] says it should starts with
all lowercase filetype.
It should be exactly same as filetype.
In JavaScript language, will be 'javascript'
But the default one uses 'javaScript'.
There are 2 issues caused by this.
1. Syntax complete[3] function will not work for JavaScript.
Because of the group name not match the pattern 'javascript\k\+'
2. Because the default one uses wrong name. Other enhanced syntax file
for JavaScript wont easy to aware this. Also, other related language like
coffee script. Uses JavaScript syntax for keyword. And they get it from
the default one.
