Research direction

The issue provides no repository file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the shown Python snippet in VS Code with the reported MagicPython commit, then locate the syntax-highlighting rule responsible for raw triple-quoted strings. Done means the # inside that string no longer receives comment highlighting.
