Summary: Multi-Token in Syntax highlighting 

Initial Comment:
Please add a token type to the syntax highlighting language (a.k.a. http://www.jedit.org/users-guide/mode-syntax-tokens.html ) for a sequence-of-tokens. This new token would only match if the sequence of tokens matched.

This would allow for delimiters to span multiple lines without allowing too-much danger from whole-document regexs ( http://www.regular-expressions.info/catastrophic.html ).

The specific problem I'm trying to address is explained at http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/4063#comment .
