Yes, the idea is that we still do.  :)
The current stable version is 2.4.2.

Well... it seems you have based your work on an old version of nano.
Which one precisely?

But this already exists, since long, in nano.

These don't exist in nano.  Does Apple add them?
(Or you meant the other way around: you made these two,
and changed the sh one?)

I've had a look.  How is your sh.nanorc better than this one?:
http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/trunk/nano/doc/syntax/sh.nanorc?revision=5203&root=nano&view=markup


In the powershell.nanorc file, it would be much better to write things like:

icolor brightred 
"([[:space:]]Add-Computer[[:space:]]|[[:space:]]Add-Content[[:space:]]|...)

like this instead:

icolor brightred "[[:space:]](Add-Computer|Add-Content|...)[[:space:]]"

What are batch and powershell?  Are they things that run only on a Mac?
