Package: vim-latexsuite
Version: 0.20041219-1
Followup-For: Bug #257163

I'm adding this to #257163, as Alberto Maurizi did with his comment
about "EAR", but it might be worth splitting this and the "EAR"
expansion off into a separate bug, as it looks like they might have a
different cause.

To typeset polytonic Greek, I use the ibycus4 package. For example, I
might type something like this sentence from Longus:

  {\greek Kai` to` a)'ntron e)ko'smhsan kai` ei)ko'nas a)ne'qesan, kai`
  bwmo`n ei('santo Poime'nos )'Erwtos; kai` tw=| Pani` de` e)'dosan a)nti`
  th=s pi'tuos oi)kei=n new'n, Pa=na Stratiw'thn o)noma'santes.}

With vim-latexsuite, I end up with this:

  {\greek Kai` to` a)'ntron e)ko'smhsan kai` ei)ko'nas a)ne'qesan, kai`
  bwmo\nu ei('santo Poime'nos )'Erwtos; kai` tw=| Pani` de` e)'dosan a)nti`
  th=s pi'tuos oi)kei=n new'n, Pa=na Stratiw'thn o)noma'santes.}

Note how "bwmo`n" became "bwmo\nu". If I enter a single backtick
followed by a letter other than 'i', 'j' or 'o', it gets expanded into
something else.

This problem would go away if special math-mode expansions were only
used when the user is entering text in math-mode.
