Description
```
I found a problem with the comment highlighting with VB.
If you have a single quote comment which has nothing after it the comment
carries onto the next line.
Example:
'
' Test this fails by including Imports System in the last comment
'
Imports System
'
' Test, this is fine
Imports System
I don't quite understand the original regex "/(?:'{1,2}[^']|rem\s).*/i" but I
managed to fix the problem for me by changing it to "/'{1,2}.*?\n/i".
```

Research direction
Locate the VB comment-highlighting rule and reproduce the supplied examples, focusing on a standalone single quote followed by another comment and then Imports System. Compare the current regex with the proposed alternatives and verify that comments stop at the line ending without changing the case that already works.
