New vim d.vim syntax highlighting script

[David Ferenczi]

Thank you very much for your work!

Recently I was playing around a bit with the d.vim script trying to get some
features work. I didn't have much time, and so were the results, as well.
Since I'm not familiar with vim scripts my assumptions and additions may be
totally wrong.

1. Highlighting operators:
I saw the operator names in the script, thus I presumed that the operators
should have also been highlighted, but somehow it didn't work for me. So I
added a quick and dirty hack:

---------8<----------------------------
" Operators
syn match dOperator             "[~+!%\/=\(\)\[\]\<\>&\{\},?;.:\-\*]"
---------8<----------------------------

I know it's quite far from elegant, but it worked - at least - for me.

Could you please give me a short explanation how the operator highlighting
is intended to work?

2. Highlighting function names:
I was thinking about how to implement, and also look at other scripts to get
some ideas, but most likely the learning curve cannot be avoided in this
case. ;-) A tip could be useful though, how the correct implementation
would look like.

Regards,
David
