:What is the bug?
Gak, it's my head. I'm expecting the string to eval-and-replace to
be qq{ "new"\n}, to become qq{new} after eval: it seems wrong that
the string should be qq{<<E}, since in that case it seems like the
compiler should not know to attribute the heredoc to it. But I have
a nasty suspicion that the compiler not knowing that was a bug I
fixed myself a mere sprinkling of eons ago.
I've probably been getting too much sleep, or something.
