I do note that the VIM syntax highlighting routine is pretty poor and has difficulties around $, which is a symbol that I like using (unpaired) quite a lot in MetaPost (\startMPcode...\stopMPcode).

The stock vim context syntax highlighting ist terrible, indeed. I modified the syntax files, the result is still terrible (and reflect my personal context writing style instead of being general), but for me they're better than the original ones. Then I contacted Nikolai with the patches a while ago. He told me that he's not maintaining the syntax files any longer and if I want to take over maintainership. I declined because I know I wouldn't have much time at my disposal the next months.

You could try my syntax files for context: https://github.com/adityam/vim-context It is fairly rudimentary (compared to the syntax files for latex), but I do get correct syntax highlighting inside metapost and lua environments. Aditya
