About color syntax in bash script

[Angelo Graziosi]

Just out of curiosity..

Run Emacs without any init file and visit this Bash script:


$ cat foo.sh
#!/bin/bash


VAR_A=`uname -s`

VAR_B=$(uname -s)



the RHS in VAR_A is in magenta while in VAR_B is black. Is this right? I 
seem to remember that some time ago (year?) also RHS in VAR_B was in 
magenta.. but I am not sure.

I see this with a recent build from master.

Ciao,
 Angelo.
