Not an argument against the request, just a reminder: heredocs are subtly 
different from quoting.  In the traditional shell implementation, a heredoc 
starts on the line following the "<<", so you can have stuff like this:

    some_command <<EOF -arg 1 -arg 2
    Text of the heredoc.
    EOF

You can't really do that in a Lisp syntax, so "heredoc" usually gets 
reinterpreted to mean "quoted string with multiple characters serving as the 
delimeter."
