My sentiments exaclty.
I think I would compare this to normal TV programmes (the code)
interruped by special news flashes (the here docs). Surely you wouldn't
expect the newsreaders to adapt their news reading style to the show
they are interrupting. No: news readers have their own, fixed style,
which is completely independent of what's comes before or after it.
In the same way, the here docs are text flashes, that are completely
independent of the code around it. Text and code just happen to be
interleaved.
