Matlab (*.m files) use asterisk (') for both string delimiting and also for the matrix/vector complex conjugate transposition, but gideon only treats it as a string delimiter.

You may want to check matlab docs on this, but I think that ' only begins a string literal when there is not an identifier/expression before it.  Also note that .' (period asterisk) is non-conjugate transposition, so that needs to be handled the same way.
