Found another buggy issue with highlighting and this one is a little simpler to 
fix!

I found apostrophes ('s) within comments also mangle color highlighting when 
inside of paranethesis. IE. "( if then ... )"

Between lines 4140 and 4490, are two sections of code between parenthesis.

The simple fix is to remove all apostrophes usage within the comments sections.

Once done, color highlighting in VI/VIM and likely Emacs will be fixed.

Really, should use such words as "can't" anyways. ;-)

For example, such comments such as:

-- # Now that we're done the encoding can be loud again -
++ # Completed encoding, can be loud again

-- # if we're not using SMP.
++ # if not using SMP


This color highlighting significantly improves code readability!

Just say the word, and can submit a patch with these fixes.

I have filed this as Issue or Bug #96
