mcedit cannot highlight echo "$(echo "$(echo)")" normally

[safinaskar]

mcedit cannot highlighting the following shell code normally:

echo "$(echo "$(echo)")"
echo

The last "echo" should be the same color as the first one, but it has quoted text color.

You may say such code is too complicated and will not appear in real source. No. This code is simplified form of the following absolutely real code:

if ! RESPONSE="$(wget -O - "https://api.vk.com/method/account.getAppPermissions?access_token=$(cat /tmp/.vk-token)" 2> /dev/null)"; then

This code is part of my vk.com audio player. And I have to add # " to the end of line to get normal highlighting, and, of course, I don't like this hack.
