| There are a couple of things I don't like about the matlab4 sheet.
| 
|    o It lists almost all standard functions in matlab4 as keywords.
|      Since there's 564 of them it's hard to keep up to date with more
|      recent versions of matlab. (My matlab 5.3 installation has
|      8456 functions and 11673 for version 6.1)
|      I think it's better to limit the keywords to for, while, end etc.
| 
|    o It doesn't recognize strings and therefore all keywords in
|      strings will be highlighted which is very ugly.
|      The most difficult part when I wrote the matlab sheet was to
|      distinguish string delimiters from the transpose operator
|      since it's the same symbol (').
| 
|    o It requires a space after the comment character (%) and that's
|      a problem since it is very common to have the first comment line
|      whitout a leading space in matlab-files.

Then it would be good if the documentation section could include this
information :)
