rolemap stanza role name highlights #12

added regex to highlight lines in the rolemap stanza, essentially any line starting with non white space character with a space = space pattern.

The purpose of this project is to ensure Splunk .conf files not only have syntax highlighting but also to—albeit roughly—lint the syntax. Allowing "any string = any string" removes the linting capability. For .conf files that allow free-form key=value pairs, this isn't a bad idea but it should use a separate grouping so that it can also have a different color from keys detailed in the .spec files.

I toyed with this previously but found that color scheme limitations and vim's syntax types prevent this from being very effective. You are welcome to keep this change in your fork.
