That sounds right.

Interesting… well, I don’t do much LaTeX so I don’t have any strong  
feelings about this. But not coloring strings does seem a little  
strange, I think stand-alone double quotes would be rather rare.

So I think we should let go of the single quotes (in pairs), but  
still keep double quoted strings, but then include $base inside the  
string, to still get normal LaTeX parsing.
