I agree with you here. I just note that the strings passed to exec, eval, and compile are also executable code strings (and nothing but!). But I don't remember a suggestion that *they* should by colored as anything other than a string.
But these are objects of type str, not string literals. If they were, I guess someone would have suggested such coloring.
I was referring to strings created by string literals in the code sitting in an editor. -- Terry Jan Reedy
