runtime(dosbatch): improve '::' comment highlighting Added a syntax region for command blocks so that the highlighting of `::` comments in them can be controlled. The `dosbatch_colons_comment` variable now controls if all `::` comments in a code block are highlighted as comments or errors. A `::` comment at the end of a command block is always highlighted as an error. This re-enables the highlighting of `::` comments in `.bat` files as requested in vim/vim#13666, while allowing control of highlighting them in command blocks requested in vim/vim#11778 and first attempted in vim/vim#11980. related: vim/vim#11980 fixes: vim/vim#13666 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/f7f33e3719c87279dfad109b874e2817007a1184 Co-authored-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> Co-authored-by: Mike Williams <mikew@globalgraphics.com>

There is an option that covers whether `*.btm` files should be detected as type
"dosbatch" (MS-DOS batch files) or type "btm" (4DOS batch files). The latter
is used by default. You may select the former with the following line: >
