And +1. I thought it's just me. It works quite well in practice and can be applied to many languages. Unfortunately in quite a few of them out prevents interpolation, so it's not a 100% solution.

A bigger issue IME is languages (mostly of the C family) where single-quoting is for character literals.

Also in Smalltalk comments are double-quoted, but that's a pretty rare language to encounter.
