Thank you for your prompt confirmation that the patch can be
merged, Stefan. This change will enhance the convenience of
editing bash and sh scripts.

While awaiting any objections, I am attaching v3 of the
patch, which includes all the characters we discussed. I am
sending it again in case the previous email was overlooked,
given the high volume of emails exchanged.

Attached: fix-sh-mode-syntax-table-v3.patch
