That is true because we are not syntax-aware and error-highlighting
text editor. If we were, I'd suspect that your stance may probably
be different. But instead we apply these patterns to a program that
is assumed to be correctly written.
And from that point of view, I agree with you that it would not hurt
to make the existing patterns for Matlab slightly more receptive so
that a correctly written programs in either language would be matched
appropriately.
But would it hurt to have two similar entries, with a clear
description on how they are different, in our code there, given how
infrequently individual entries have historically been updated?
