IMO shell which require developers to write code like this [1] to implement mere syntax highlighting for command you're entering has bad design.

I don't know which level of intellect is required here for a newcomer to fix a bug.

I burst out laughing. I've not seen spaghetti code like that in a serious program before. Why is syntax highlighting being implemented in a shell language anyway?

It's syntax highlighting for shell (as you type on the command line).
