BTW, re-reading this, I see it could be taken as a personal attack, so I want to clarify that I consider Emacs to be full of ugly hacks and that a significant proportion of them come directly from me: sometimes it's still the best we can come up with :-( But I obviously still think in this case that the choice of leaving the text on subsequent lines (after a string with no \ nor closing ") highlighted as if they were part of the string is a much better option.
