The idea is to *only* flag the illegitimate uses. Defined as: those cases when text visually overflow the syntactic boundaries established by your programming language (e.g. string literal or comment delimiters). 

This is a high signal-to-noise ratio and you can even make it a hard syntax error.

I'm not saying nothing should be done in editors to help with this aswell. But I don't really understand your objections, these are complementary approaches.

Best,
