I don't know about most users, but I find it annoying that:
1. The "EOF\n\nEOF" string is inserted and point is moved between the newlines, as soon as I type "<<". I almost always use the "<<-" syntax, so that I can indent the here document between the command and terminating word by tabs for readability. Could sh-maybe-here-document be enhanced to wait (say 1 second) for a `-' input event before inserting the template, and then insert a tab before point if it sees the `-'?
2. I prefer a space after redirection operators, but putting a space at the beginning of sh-here-document-word doesn't produce a valid shell command, because the same space is inserted by sh-maybe-here-document. (The shell only ignores leading tabs -- not spaces -- before the word, and only if the "<<-" syntax is used.)
3. For command foo, I like to use _foo for the terminating word. But sh-here-document-word is static, not dynamic.
