Hello

Can the syntax file for sh scripts be updated to accept the new features for parameter, command and arithmetic substitution ?

Parameter substitution:
        ${parameter:-word}
        ${parameter-word}
        ${parameter:=word}
        ${parameter=word}
        ${parameter:?word}
        ${parameter?word}
        ${parameter:+word}
        ${parameter+word}

        ${#parameter}
        
        ${parameter%word}
        ${parameter%%word}
        ${parameter#word}
        ${parameter##word}

Command substitution
        ` cmd args... `
        $(cmd args ...) - this works recursively (can be nested)

Arithmetic substitution:
        $(( expression ))

(most C language operators are accepted). See:

Can I manually add this new constructs to a local syntax file ?

Thank you,
Timothy Madden
