Parser fails to parse certain Gherkin multiline strings that start with an asterisk

[christianhujer]

The dart_gherkin parser fails to parse certain multiline strings.

The following scenario works (using x):

Feature: Conway's Game of Life

  Scenario: Single cell universe
    Given the following universe:
    """
    x
    """

The following scenario fails (using *):

Feature: Conway's Game of Life

  Scenario: Single cell universe
    Given the following universe:
    """
    *
    """

Stacktrace:

Error while parsing feature file: './features/GameOfLife.feature'
