[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Write a multi-line raw string literal in c++-mode, and font
lock doesn't show the correct syntax highlighting. Sample code:

const char* s1 = R"foo(
Hello
World
)foo";

const char* s2 = R"(
Hello
World
)";

Yes.  Thank you for reporting this bug.  I'm working on fixing it, and
hope to commit a patch to master sometime in the next few days.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

Testing this in Emacs 28, I get:

[Message part 2 (image/png, inline)]

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Which...  I think is correct?  So I guess this has been fixed in the
years since this was reported, and I'm closing this bug report.  (If
there's still bugs in this area, please respond to the debbugs address
and we'll reopen.)
