Syntax highlighting of multiline quoted constructs is iffy anyway.
Vim normally gets my Python programs right, but sometimes it loses its
place inside triple-quoted strings. But if you scroll up to the top of the big
block it mishighlighted, it fixes itself.
a2ps sometimes gets tripped up with apostrophes inside triple quotes.
I think vim does sometimes too in SQL queries. I've been known to
occasionally insert irritated comments in my code:
# ' <-- This just to satisfy Vim's syntax highlighting.
In spite of this, syntax highlighting is something I can't live without.
