Hi Leo,

I'v just seen that it doesn't always work:

a(1, end) -> 'end' not highlighted

a(1, [1, end]) -> 'end' highlighted (always if 'end' is within [])

I know nothing of emacs mode programming, so perhaps a stupid thought,
but since in indentation it seems to be always correctly recognized if
'end' is _not_ part of an index expression, can't this information be
used for highlighting?

BTW I don't know if its better to highlight 'end' within index
expressions or not.

a = 'abc' -> highlighted as string

'abc' -> not highlighted

"abc" -> highlighted as string
