The current syntax:
$var = <<<'TEXT'
text
TEXT;
I would like to see nowdocs. The closest equivalent in another syntax I
can think of is xml's CDATA. Perhaps we can borrow something similar to
that syntax
$var = <<<CDATA[
string here
]CDATA;
No, please, let's not further promote CDATA abuse. Everyone seems to
think that CDATA is some sort of binary-clean way to toss any junk they
want into an XML file which isn't even close to being true.
I don't think the 'FOO' syntax is very obvious either, but I can't think
of a better one and if there isn't a commonly known syntax we can steal
from another language, then making up our own, no matter what it is, is
going to be non-obvious to a lot of people.
