syntax highlighting error in arithmetic expressions #104

The code with a problem is:

z=$((x + y))

x is yellow entity.name.command.shell

y is brown string.unquoted.argument.shell

It looks like:

It should look like:

I would expect x and y to have the same scopes.

The following problem may be related to this. When using arithmetic shift operation, everything after it is highlighted as a string. Like this: z=$((x << y))

I can not reproduce the exact issue described by @LeoH1310 but I'm having a similar issue:

e=$(( (c) << 8 )) turns everything after it into a string.

The parentheses around c seem to break the highlighting.

But this is probably an unrelated bug to the one which the issue was opened about.
