Hi,

I'm inspecting your ps-mode.el.
I wonder why parenthesis specifying string in postscript is not
in ps-mode-syntax-table. Any strong reason or am I missing something?

Regards,
Masatake YAMATO

The function of parentheses is too complex to be handled by the
syntax table.

The problem is that a (a(b)c) is a single string whereas with your changes
it would be considered as two strings separated by `b'.
If you want to add nestable strings to syntax-tables, you're welcome.
It would be useful in perl-mode as well.
