Emacs syntax highlighting error

[Daniel Harple]

I am getting an error in GNU Emacs with ruby syntax highlighting.

<<< CODE >>>
foo = "'?"

def blah
end
<<< CODE >>>

The highlighting for the string goes on.

Is it due to the ' to the left of the ? (?).
If you remove the ' it seems to display correctly.

I don't see this happening in the latest ruby-mode. Get it from CVS
(in misc/), or:

http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ruby/misc/

It probably happened because it was treating the ?" as a character
escape, and so was still looking for a closing ".
