In blade, when including a template and passing a variable with a string containg a "(" or ")" an error is generated. Below are steps to reproduce.

In Laravel 5.0.27 I am including a view with with a variable using the following code:

@include('layouts.article', [ 'mainTitle' => "404, page not found", 'mainContent' => "sorry, but the requested page does not exist :(" ]) 

which generates the following error...

FatalErrorException syntax ... error, unexpected ','

I've narrowed down the error to just the "(" in the "mainContent" variable string. When I remove the "(" the error disappears and everything runs as expected. I tested this on a fresh install of laravel (5.0.16) and it still had the issue.

Thanks!
