Function handle accessor not colored after 4 whitespaces, cannot be separated from anonymous function in case of line continuations #58

There can be an arbitrary number of whitespaces after the function handle.

But in the tmLanguage there is a limit on 4 whitespace characters. Also \s includes newlines, which is not allowed.
