Bug#761064: vim: Syntax highligting for shell/bash in when using complex eval construction

[Marek Simon]

Package: vim
Version: 2:7.4.430-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
while programing in bash, I used this construction inside a shell function:
eval [ \"\$$1\" = \'\' ]

vim thinks the line ends with an open single quote.
using this:
eval [ \"\$"$1"\" = \'\' ]
does not help.

Both is correctly interpreted by the shell as a valid command.

Workaround is to add:
#'
which closes quote for vim and add a comment for the shell.
I am not offering any patch suggestion because I do not know vim highligt
control file syntax much.

With Regards Marek Simon
