Is it possible to support highlight matching single quote, double quote?

Hi,

I really this package which helped me a lot to spot the matching parentheses.

I wonder if it can be extended to highlight the matching quote, like in the strings "aaa", or 'aaa'?
It will be very helpful for text-mode, org-mode, or markdown-mode to spot the missing quote in necessary cases.

Thanks for spending time taking a look at my issue.

It should be possible to do that by adding appropriate syntax-table properties to the quote and apostrophe characters as needed, as rainbow-delimiters is pretty language agnostic and just looks at character classes internally. The properties of syntax are usually set up by the major mode, so this is outside the purview of rainbow-delimiters; you should look into deriving your own major mode from text-mode etc.

Thank you for the suggestion!
