Summary: "as" keyword sometimes highlighted in strings

Initial Comment:
IDLE sometimes highlights the "as" keyword inside
strings. See the docstring to the get_redir() function
in the attached script.

IDLE 1.1.2, Python 2.4.2, but I've seen it in older
versions too.

It is better to have fast and simple syntax highlighting
which does not special-case literals.  IOW, I prefer the
status quo -- it would be a loss to have the highlighting
code get mired down with parser logic.
