Nano syntax files

[Vincent FranÃois <vincentfrancois dot pro at gmail dot com>]

Hello,

In wanting to use the syntax of the text editor NANO, I noticed a
problem. In the Cygwin, regular expressions \< and \> are not
recognized. In reading the man page (7 regex) I learned that he had
used respectively for [[:<:]] for \< and [[:>:]] for \>.

I wrote this message to provide a patch to update the syntax files (*.
nanorc) available in the directory /usr/share/nano

To apply the patch, perform the command:
$ patch -p0 -i syntax.nanorc.patch

To reverse patch, perform the command:
$ patch -p0 -Ri syntax.nanorc.patch

Below file syntax.nanorc.patch:
