Re: Vim script highlighter, beta; 850 keywords; 2,400 states

Updated nftables rules syntax highlighter it to include every possible 
supported syntax found in v1.1.4, (except for 
DCCP/SCTP/Geneve/VXLAN/inner-outer-headers).

     https://github.com/egberts/vim-script-nftables/README.md

Now works with over 50 color schemes (unit tested), dark or light.

An animated GIF showcasing this highlighting:

Installer:

     https://github.com/egberts/vim-syntax-nftables.git
     cd vim-syntax-nftables
     make install
     vi /etc/nftables.conf
     vi /etc/nftables/my_firewall.nft
     make uninstall

Tested on Debian 11/12/13, Fedora, Gentoo

Unit-test Test generators tried all possible settings, example for 'ip 
saddr' statement:

Next, make it work for my EVPN-VXLAN firewalls (inner-outer header) for 
my multi-tenant Geneve/VXLAN overlays and finish up DCCP/SCTP.



Enjoy.
