""" or ''' as comments

how to mark starting and ending strings with """ or ''' as comment

currently as a workaround I added the following to the .vim/after/syntax/python.vim file

syn region Comment start=/"""/ end=/"""/
syn region Comment start=/'''/ end=/'''/

Currently the only way to do it is by renaming pythonString, pythonBytes, pythonUniString, pythonUniRawString and pythonRawString groups with the corresponding delimiters and then link new names to the Comment group.

This can be done more easily with PR #55. Link pythonStringMultiline, pythonRawStringMultiline, and so on to the Comment group.

Alternatively, you could highlight/link those differently than both strings and comments. I do that to make docstrings stand out.
