[Bug 43182] gEdit Incorrectly Highlights strings in Heredoc

Within Heredoc string syntax, PHP can have both apostrophes (') and
double quotes (") without the need for escaping them. View the attached
image. If I have an apostrophe within heredoc (as an apostrophe, not
syntacially), gEdit highlights the rest of the document as if it was in
quote marks (highlights the remaining document pink).

This is very hard to describe. I am also unsure how it SHOULD highlight but the current way is incorrect because this is not that way that PHP interperts code.

Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'gedit'; however, that package was not published in Baltix.
