Vim yodl syntax highlighting



I've sketched a Vim syntax file for zsh yodl files.  Not perfect yet but
better than no highlighting at all.

At this time there are two known issues:

- Parentheses that aren't part of a yodl macro confuse the parsing; example:
    chapter(foo (bar) baz)

- Macros nested within an underlined thing don't get underlined; example:
    sitem(foo)(bar tt(baz))

---

To test this, source it after opening a yodl file.

To install it permanently, save the attachment as ~/.vim/syntax/zyodl.vim
and put
    autocmd! BufRead,BufNewFile **/Doc/Zsh/*.yo	setfiletype zyodl
somewhere.  Putting it in vimrc is good enough, see ':help new-filetype'
for the official way.

---

I think all these macros are zsh specific (even 'chapter' and 'bf' are
defined in ztexi.yo), as opposed to yodl builtins.

Should this live in the zsh repository?  If it's useful to people it
should live alongside the code, but if it's just me, I'll throw it on my
personal github account.
"" Test case:
" if 0
" i
"   texinode()()()()
"   chapter(foo)
"   chapter(foo (foo) foo)
"   vindex(foo) 
"   foo tt(foo) var(foo) bf(foo) em(foo) foo
"   xitem(foo)
"   item(foo)(foo)
"   sitem(foo)(foo tt(foo) foo)
"   example(print *.c+LPAR()#q:s/#%+LPAR()#b+RPAR()s+LPAR()*+RPAR().c/'S${match[1]}.C'/+RPAR())
"   ifzman(zmanref(zshmisc))ifnzman(noderef(Redirection))
"   LPAR()foo 42 foo+RPAR()
" .
" endif
