Bash case pattern with escaped space not rendered correctly in Neovim

[madjxatw]

Treesitter doesn't highlight the text correctly where bash case pattern with escaped space is used.

[verhovsky]

case "$1" in
  foobar)
    echo "$1"
    ;;
  foo\ bar)
    echo "$1"
    ;;
  *)
    ;;
esac

Looks like the \ in foo\ bar isn't escaping the space.

case "$1" in
  foobar)
    echo "$1"
    ;;
  foo\ bar)
    echo "$1"
    ;;
  *)
    ;;
esac

Looks like the \ in foo\ bar isn't escaping the space.

The syntax is legal, but not handled properly, making all following text rendered in wrong color. Currently I have to use if-else instead.

You can continue using the case statement, just replace foo\ bar) with foo[ ]bar) or foo' 'bar).

This issue isn't just limited to case statements. See #169
