[jamming] syntax rule rulename : vars - is it working ?

[Mildred]

Somewhere, the manual (Jam.html) says

> rule rulename [ : vars ] { statements }
> 
>     Define a rule's procedure, replacing any previous definition. If
>     vars are provided, they are assigned the values of the parameters
>     ($(1) to $(9)) when statements are executed, as with the local
>     statement.

Just a question. Is it supposed to work ?
I tried but it does not.

My code :

    rule VarFile : basename { # line 103
        Echo $(basename) ;
    }

The errors :

    Jamrules: line 103: syntax error at keyword :
    Jamrules: line 103: syntax error at keyword {
    Jamrules: line 105: syntax error at keyword }

Also, i found something else. The bind attribute to the action
definition. bind is not before the action name as said in my
documentation, but after.

Anyway, I made a syntax highlighter for Kate. It is downloadable here :
