I am not familiar with the term "herdoc". After a quick google, it
looks like it refers to a way of escaping the language. Is this not
something that a single-quoted string couldn't handle? You would still
need to escape single-quotes and back-slashes, but it comes close.
However, I wouldn't be against adding a special character sequence to
support this (Maybe '<<' or something).
Heredoc is just a raw string that doesn't choke on embedded newlines.
And often the "end of string" delimiter is customizable so you don't
have to worry about escaping the quotes or anything.
