Where I've made most use of heredocs is when I want to do nothing but define a bunch of
long strings in one file.
I find the most useful thing about heredocs is that they don't care about
quotation marks, so I often use them for SQL statements where I might have a
mixture of ' and "
eg.
$sql =<<<EoSQL
SELECT
foo AS "Foo"
FROM Bar
WHERE baz='quux'
EoSQL;
