 This example shows the use of a few advanced tricks:
 - using the |CursorMoved| autocommand event
 - using |searchpairpos()| to find a matching paren
+- using |synID()| to detect whether the cursor is in a string or comment
 - using |:match| to highlight something
 - using a |pattern| to match a specific position in the file.
 
 This should be put in a Vim script file, since it uses script-local variables.
-Note that it doesn't recognize strings or comments in the text.
+It skips matches in strings or comments, unless the cursor started in string
+or comment.  This requires syntax highlighting.
