How to use Generic String Delimiter ("|")

Hello All,

I'm trying to highlight a multiline construct.  It uses the here doc syntax

<<SYMBOL
whatever
text
SYMBOL


Do I need two delimiters as follows:


<<SYMBOL(1)
whatever
text(2)
SYMBOL


Or do I use one delimiter that spans the entire string body?

<<SYMBOL(delimiter start)
whatever
text(delimiter end)
SYMBOL


In my experiments using the single delimiter I've failed at getting the
highlighting to work properly so I think I'm going down the wrong path.

I'm trying to avoid how sh-mode and the current implementation
of terraform-mode highlight the entirety of the closing SYMBOL.
