Hi,

There are two bugs regards sh-script-mode

1) Here document,
When input <<, it should not automatically add EOF here document for
me, as I may want to use <<< instead.

3) Highlight for quota string
Highlight for quota string is a mess, when embed double or single
quota inside quota, such as,

echo "$(echo "hello 'world'")"

Try (a) `C-u <' instead of just `<', (b) setting sh-here-document-word
to "", or (c) unbinding "<" in Shell-script mode's local map
(sh-mode-map).

I think it is necessary here to change the behaviour of syntax
highlight of quote string. For example,

echo "$(ls "Hello World"*)"

Two quote strings are valid and necessary here to protect spaces as
well as newlines. In addition, I don't think it is too hard to support
it. When the first " char looking for the end of " char, it needs to
skip " char inside $(...)
