(On the subject of syntax highlighting languages embedded in other languages)

I frequently write (bash) shell scripts with embedded AWK scripts, and I've 
found the awkembed.vim script quite useful.  I have it installed at:

~/.vim/after/syntax/sh/awkembed.vim 

And it works quite well.  Now, I would like to extend the idea beyond the set 
of "shell" and "awk".

There are, obviously, two variables here: The enclosing language and the 
embedded language.  As far as I can tell (based on a little Googoling) this has 
only been done for the one specific combination: shell & awk.  Note: :help 
sh-embed

Specifically, I have an Expect script with embedded AWK.  How hard is it going 
to be to get this to work?

I took a look at the awkembed.vim script - it's mostly greek to me, although I 
was able to modify it slightly because my awk has a different name than the one 
assumed by the script.

It'd be nice if someone could tell me either a quick way to make a script to do 
what I want - or to tell me it can't be done...
