From where I stand, the single most important improvement from using
tree-sitter in shell-mode buffers is to solve the problems with
fontifications in tricky cases like here-documents etc. These are a
source of constant stream of bug reports, when people expect us to do
a decent job in those cases. I hope tree-sitter could solve that once
and for all.
Eli, if you could send some of those bug reports, that would be great. I can use them as test cases for what I am working on.
