Think about chance that string contains end of heredoc mark in it :)
Even if it's not too high, but it will increase chance to EOH matches
string for sure.

That is why many scripting languages do not allow any char
before/after EOH mark.

Indent feature with decent editer, like emacs, work well with current 
syntax also.

If it's enough explaination, please close it again.

As I mentioned, feel free to write and submit patch :)

PS: You are better to search archive, there were discussion
regarding heredoc patch. It's not directly related to
this change, but it may help. The last patch was rejected,
