IDE doesn't support triple quoted strings (Multi-line)

Description

I copied code from 
https://github.com/hpcc-systems/HPCC-Platform/blob/master/testing/regress/ecl/strings.ecl

This code works in the ECL Watch playground. 
It fails syntax check in the IDE. The IDE won't submit any code it thinks is bad. 

In addition, the IDE doesn't colorize triple quoted STRINGs as STRINGs. 

Conclusion

None

Smells like a Windows + eclcc issue?
