Thanks. I get the impression (catching up on emacs mailing lists) you
are trying to fix font-locking of quoted and nested things. FYI, the
following (not uncommon, I would have thought) construct currently
does not fontify correctly. I'm pretty sure it used to...

#!/bin/bash

echo "the time is `date`"

## now everything is fontified as string.
[ $i -eq $j ] && {
    echo "blah"
    exit 1
}
