You've explained that this mode is intended for broader use. So the term "here document" has two problems: it is too long in function names, and it is too narrow. This suggests we should use some other more general term instead. How about "literal"? Any other suggestions? (defun make-indirect-buffer-for-hdoc (&optional change-major-mode)... I suggest the name edit-literal for that function. We should not rigidly put all relevant entities into the function name.
