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." -Stuart Sierra clojure.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
