" NOTE:
"
" Empty .m files will automatically be presumed as Matlab files
" unless you have the following in your .vimrc:
"
"       let filetype_m="mma"
"
" I also recommend setting the default 'Comment' highlighting to something
" other than the color used for 'Function', since both are plentiful in
" most mathematica files, and they are often the same color (when using
" background=dark).
"
" Credits:
" o  Original Mathematica syntax version written by
"    Wolfgang Waltenberger <wwalten@ben.tuwien.ac.at>
" o  Some ideas like the CommentStar,CommentTitle were adapted
"    from the Java vim syntax file by Claudio Fleiner.  Thanks!
" o  Everything else written by steve <layland@wolfram.com>
"
" Bugs:
" o  Vim 6.1 didn't really have support for character classes
"    of other named character classes.  For example, [\a\d]
"    didn't work.  Therefore, a lot of this code uses explicit
"    character classes instead: [0-9a-zA-Z]
