In shell-script mode (bash minor mode) Emacs 23.2 incorrectly parses the
following line as a HERE DOCUMENT.

	echo $(( 1 << 16 ))

It is confused because sh-font-lock-open-heredoc (in sh-script.el)
does not know about bash's ARITHMETIC EXPANSION. There should be a
function, similar to sh-in-comment-or-string, which parses the
script looking for arithmetic expansion.

As a temporary workaround for users, I believe it is legal to put double
quotes around any arithmetic expansion to force emacs to view it as a
string.

Indeed, thanks for spotting this.

I guess the way to do it would be to try to handle $(( as
a string-opener in sh-syntax-propertize-function and then write
code to jump to the matching )) to mark it as the string-closer.

Patch welcome,

Actually this is a much more general problem. See
