I am unsure as to the specific case you are discussing.

In the attachment, the first heredoc is defined with '<<END;'.  The second is defined with '<<END ;'  In both cases there is no whitespace after the terminator 'END'.  Both "work" in the sense that both compile and print -- even though the second definition looks weird.

Is that the case you are concerned about?  Or something else?

Thank you very much.
