Bug description:Implement another string delimiter as alternative to double quotes

Description:
------------
How to merge together HTML/JS/SQL and PHP inside non-view scripts:

// looks messy
$htmlSingle = '<a href="' . {$url} . '">' . {$label} . '</a>';

// good, but needs to be escaped
$htmlDouble = "<a href=\"{$url}\">{$label}</a>;

// breaks code clearity (especially inside classes)
$htmlHeredoc = <<<HTML
<a href="{$url}">{$label}</a>
HTML;

None of the above solutions are really perfect for solving one of the
most common task in PHP. So a mixture of the heredoc syntax (code
injection for phpstorm) and the double quotes (one liners) would be
perfect imo. Maybe something like this:

// without code injection feature
$html = :|<a href="{url}">{$label}</a>|;

// with code injection
$html = :HTML|<a href="{url}">{$label}</a>|;
