Interpreter details:

R 4.4.1

Describe the issue:

Some raw strings are incorrectly marked as syntax errors while they work as expected. When they are called as "literals" then there is a warning "No symbol named 'r' in scope". When they are called as function arguments there is a syntax error "Expected ',' between expressions".

Steps to reproduce the issue:

In an R script:

r"((\d+))" # -> yellow wave under the "r"
stringr::str_extract("foo123", r"((\d+))")  # -> red wave under the "r"

The stringr call produces the expected output, but the syntax error shouldn't be reported.

Expected or desired behavior:

None of the r are highlighted.

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

Didn't notice anything specific there.
