Attached patch uncolors the "tar"s that are part of a filename.
(It depends on the "normal" patch posted in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nano-devel/2018-03/msg00114.html.)

When a shell script contains a line like:

  tar -cvzf  file.tar.gz  somedir

then both the tar command itself and the word "tar" inside "file.tar.gz" are colored bright blue.  The latter is wrong.

One could change the command-coloring regex to require that any command is followed by a space or by end-of-line, but that is not good enough: a command could also be followed by a semicolon or a &&, and we don't want to color those.  So... probably it is best to recolor "tar" to normal when it is followed by a period.
