Syntax highlighting and alternate quote notation

[Kengoo.ru]

Doesn't PL/SQL Developer support correct syntax highlighting of quoted literals?
Writing in SQL or Program window:

declare
str varchar2(3000) := q'[Hello, I'm a 'string' ]';
begin
dbms_output.put_line(str);
end;

Code is syntaxically correct, but highlighting fails. It's too bad because rest of code is hard to read and autoreplace won't work there (because it's considered to be a literal)

This is indeed a problem in version 8.0. It is fixed in the upcoming version 9.0 though.

There is another case that isn't handled (more of an edge case, but still valid syntax).

declare
str1 varchar2(3000) := q'[Hello, I'm a 'string' ]';
str2 varchar2(3000) := q'^Hello, I'm a 'string' ^';
begin
dbms_output.put_line(str1);
dbms_output.put_line(str2);
end;

According to this,http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e41084/sql_elements003.htm#SQLRF00217 it recognizes "[]", "()", "{}" and "" specifically, but you can use most any character as the quote_delimiter.
