[javascript] Comment syntax within a string incorrectly interpreted as a comment

[johnbillion]

Issue Type: Bug

The following code within a JavaScript file is syntax highlighted incorrectly in VS Code. The /* within the 'admin/*.js' string is wrongly interpreted as an opening comment tag.

This is about the minimum code that I was able to replicate the issue with. The original issue was seen in a Grunt configuration file.

foo({
    files: (
        function () {
            var files = [];
            files.push( {
                src: [
                    'admin/*.js'
                ],
                dest: 'themes/foo/js'
            } );
            return files;
        }
    )()
});

Screenshot:

Note that all the code following the /* is treated as a comment.
