Ruby heredoc in method arguments breaks parenthese recognition

The closing paren gets classified incorrectly as string.unquoted.heredoc.ruby on line 7.

Highlighting example, incorrect on the left, correct on the right.

@alexr00 It is valid ruby code. Examples: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activemodel/lib/active_model/attributes.rb#L35 https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activerecord/lib/active_record/persistence.rb#L659 https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activerecord/lib/active_record/nested_attributes.rb#L370

@alexr00 the heredoc content starts from the line following the heredoc identifier (LOG in our case) and we can use the heredoc identifier as a variable in that line, so log(<<-LOG) is a valid function call and <<-LOG is referring to the content after this line (and also ends with LOG). https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/2.5.0/syntax/literals_rdoc.html

For short, ) is not part of the multiline string, our grammar is kind of wrong.

Thanks for checking!
