Just the first 2 bytes are magic, not the semicolon. Someone a while ago told me to use : and make it an unused label but I've never tried it. To fit "MZ() if 0;", I'd have to shorten the do not edit comment. There are only 2 free bytes (as spaces) before the binary escaping heredoc. The binary escaping heredoc must escape bytes 0x3C/60-0x3F/63 so it can not be moved.
