Dear Chet,

It would be nice if I can read a file and process it as though it was
here-document text in the script.  Mainly, I want variable substitution,
without calling lots of 'sed'.

In Python, you would do
   print "..." % ...

So, perhaps, you can use syntax like
   cat <<+ file
   cat <<<< file

    Why can't you use:

cat < file
