Depending on editor/IDE a decent macro/extension would detect specific 
function before the q{}. Say:
hlsl!q{

};

And highlight it as appropriate.

I think it's customary for good editors to highlight parts of code based 
on different scheme (say PHP/JS mixed in the HTML highlights just fine). 
So the basic blocks must be there already.

All in all it's hardly a good thing to trade a language feature *only* 
to help people give "hints" to IDEs (which they may as well ignore).
