Thank you all for the answers!

Yes, I'm actually using it to highlight whitespace... I know it's a programming language on its own, but it works perfectly well for my needs so I don't see a reason to install extra plugins for it.

I hadn't realized that b:current_syntax had a special meaning... that clearly explains the problem with the tmp var and makes me feel like an idiot =) But even after changing that (now I've named it b:current_buffer_syntax and I can see that this one's not used) problem 2) keeps happening. Maybe this buffer variables don't work the way I though they did...? I'd like to store the syntax of each buffer I have open, how can this be done?

    Whitespace is an esoteric programming language:

    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_%28programming_language%29>.
    If it
    is used highlighting of anything, *but* spaces is disturbing.


Okay, scratch that reply!!
