I guess you're right!  That must be an old cut&paste...

variables are defined in the line

type = '(?:\$[#]?|@|%)[[:word:]]+'

it's misleading since it is called as type (it was due to previous 
versions where the variable style was not included).  Actually variable 
and type are formatted the same way so the problem doesn't show, but I 
need to update these .lang files!

thanks for the feedback
cheers
