Description
Seems like this is still a problem for code such as:
fn main() {
let a = r#"hello" world"#;
println!("{}", a);
}
Using the #ed raw strings.
Now that the rust-playground may also use monaco one may encounter this problem:
Note: rust's raw strings are formed as an r, then some number of #s, "<the string here>", then a matching number of #s
