It is a bit pity loosing the name 'here document' since its use is so
popular that any other naming would be an indirect description of
'here document'. I can imagine such a conversation that:
"What is this embedded literal stuff?" "That really is a here
document"
I Googled {perl|python|ruby} "here document", and found that the name
was more generically used now than when it was originally coined.
