### Use case/motivation
If the string type starts with a type known to netbeans, apply syntax highlighting to the string

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests; start by locating NetBeans' PHP heredoc lexer and the existing syntax-highlighting support for embedded or known string types. Done means recognized heredoc types receive the requested highlighting and regression coverage demonstrates the behavior.
