Research direction

Start in the PHP editor's syntax highlighting and brace-matching entry points, then compare the behavior with the Java editor, which is cited as having this feature. Reproduce the example with "(Test)" in a PHP string and inspect existing editor tests if available. Done means matching braces in PHP strings are highlighted, including the shown example.
