Vim's currenr behaviour for syntax highlighting of shell scripts (with
#!/bin/sh and /bin/sh pointing to dash) is to mark command
substititions using the $(foo) construction as an error.
This is incorrect, as POSIX sh alllows this construction.
Because vim's syntaxt hightlighting script correctly identifies
/bin/sh-->/bin/dash as a POSIX shell, and sets b:is_posix, ths fix is
simple:
