While I don't know if this is intentional or not, I know this technique
is used in C mode (for example, to handle preprocessing directives) and
in ruby mode (to switch quoted literals and normal code back and forth).

Thus I believe it's OK to solve your problem this way.

Using this technique heavily, I think a mode can parse any single pass
language completely.
