The syntax documentation suggests that the 'keepend' argument applies

syn match A /A/
syn match Inside /[A-Z]\+/ transparent contained containedin=A
hi A guifg=blue
...the match group "A" extends (apparently incorrectly) from A through
E, though its pattern matches only the "A". Stranger still, one
additional nested "Inside" group is recognized in each successive
letter. I.e., "Inside" is contained within "Inside", in spite of the
`containedin=A'. Thus, running synstack on successive characters, I
see...
-- cursor on A --
A
Inside
-- cursor on B --
A
Inside
Inside
-- cursor on C --
A
Inside
Inside
Inside
I can fix the problem by adding the 'keepend' argument to the
definition for match group "A", but the "keepend" is highlighted as an
error by the vim syntax, and the help on :syn-match gives me no reason
to believe the argument should be supported.
Hello:
Since the help will be changed to reflect keepend being allowed at the
end of a match... well, try
http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#SYNTAX_VIM for an update
to the highlighting thereof.
