incorrect highlight of command with variable #836
Description
The syntax highlighting often gives the user the idea of what is going to happen, but in a few situations it seems to indicate the wrong things.
$a='goodbye'
hello$a # 'hello' is yellow, '$a' is green like its going to be expanded, but it doesn't
# instead, "The term 'hello$a' is not recognized as the name of a …" is returned.I think it is safe to say, everything highlighted yellow, does not allow expansion
function hello () {echo $args}
$a= @{hello=3;goodbye=4}
$a[hello] # 'hello]' is yellow, like it could be a function call, but function calls seem not to be permitted in array index
$a[hello goodbye] # as you type, it looks like its going to be valid, but the prompt knows, its still red at the end.
$a[(hello goodbye)] # this is accepted
This seems to really confuse the syntax highlighting:
$a[(hello$b goodbye)]
