"~" is incorrectly marked as syntax error

[bzoli22]

The string literal "~" is marked as syntax error, and the closing " is ignored, messing up the parsing of the rest of the whole source code unit, which is not indexed, leading to syntax errors in all referencing modules.

While "~" is incorrect as a format string (it should be "~~"), it is perfectly acceptable as a string in all other cases.

A possible workaround is to use [$~], but that is a bit difficult to read and requires an explanation in comment.

I don't think this is a grave error or that you should put too much effort into fixing it, but I thought I report it anyway.

Thanks for this great plugin.
I look forward to updates,
Zoltan B.

I'd appreciate this one being fixed, I work with several files where several hundred lines are considered a single string by the parser due to this error

I have the same issue as artman41. And this is something i cant change code wise cause this is widely used in a legacy product.
