Daniel Shahaf a0b5bc6c71 Fix bug in previous commit (d330b49b33) 
'local' is a reserved word in zsh 5.1 but not in earlier versions [1].
Therefore, under zsh older than 5.1, quoting is required.

This manifested as random «builtin=''» in emitted to the terminal, and
commands (such as 'echo') highlighted as errors (in red).

FAQ

Why must zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh be sourced at the end of the .zshrc file?

zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh wraps ZLE widgets. It must be sourced after all
custom widgets have been created (i.e., after all zle -N calls).

How to tweak

Syntax highlighting is done by pluggable highlighter scripts, see the highlighters directory
for documentation and configuration settings.
