Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Adding this is very likely to break many existing codes.

Use this:
$it = get_it();
$sql = <<<SQL
  SELECT $it LIMIT 1
SQL;

Maybe you can also fake a property that will actually call a method
(with an object using __get()):

$sql = <<<SQL
  SELECT $object->get_it LIMIT 1
SQL;

Description:
------------
NOWDOC/HEREDOC only allows PHP values such as those allowed within a
quoted string.  Permitting PHP code (such as functions) within
NOWDOC/HEREDOC will allow more flexibility for coding. Also, when using
a text editor, syntax styling for PHP and syntax styling for another
language specified by the NOWDOC/HEREDOC within the same file would be
more readable as breaking apart the NOWDOC/HEREDOC for a function call
would no longer be necessary.

In the below examples I would like to reemphasize the importance of:
- PHP code with PHP syntax styling
- SQL code with SQL syntax styling

$sql = <<<SQL
  SELECT <?= get_it(); ?> LIMIT 1
SQL;

Instead of:
$sql = <<<SQL
  SELECT 
SQL;
$sql .= get_it();
$sql .= <<<SQL
  LIMIT 1
SQL;

Reproduce code:
---------------
$sql = <<<SQL
  SELECT <?= get_it(); ?> LIMIT 1
SQL;


Expected result:
----------------
$sql = <<<SQL
  SELECT <?= get_it(); ?> LIMIT 1
SQL;


Actual result:
--------------
Does NOT run.
