a#b highlighted wrong in shell-script mode

[Dan Jacobson]

I noticed when I type a#b in shell-script mode, the # is seen as the
beginning of a comment and turns red.  This might be right for a//b in
c-mode, but is wrong as a#b doesn't contain a comment. "a #b" does. By
the way, on the other hand in a *Shell* buffer, even a #b doesn't have
any part turn red.

Indeed after turning [dim] red, one wouldn't see dangerous mistakes like
echo nothing special here#; except this dangerous command here

The only special things I did were like
(setq font-lock-mode-maximum-decoration t)
(global-font-lock-mode t) etc.
