Every time I use a q{} block, it's to embed some code in a different
language. I would like the IDE to syntax hilight properly if able.
HLSL/GLSL, JSON, XML are the most common embedded languages I encounter.

Depending on editor/IDE a decent macro/extension would detect specific function before the q{}. Say:
hlsl!q{

};

And highlight it as appropriate.

I think it's customary for good editors to highlight parts of code based on different scheme (say PHP/JS mixed in the HTML highlights just fine). So the basic blocks must be there already.

All in all it's hardly a good thing to trade a language feature *only* to help people give "hints" to IDEs (which they may as well ignore).
