this line

punctuation = r"""!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~"""

has a # symbol in a r""" string, and the rest of the characters are highlighted as if it's a comment.

Looks like this is related to #114 (comment)

punctuation = R"""!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~"""

Please reconsider this feature.

This doesn't seem right even in regex mode. The syntax for regexp comments is (?#...), # on its own is not sufficient.

# on its own is a comment. Check it.

At least with re.X

Yes, you're right.
