The vim help doc for 'pattern' suggests this expression for
end-of-sentence.  According to the doc, it's very close to how vim's own
')' navigation command finds sentence breaks.

     [.!?][])"']*\($\|[ ]\)

Translates as "a period, exclamation or question mark, followed by zero or
more close parentheses, square brackets, single or double quotes, followed
by either and end-of-line or a space".
