Hello Lars,

 to me this makes pretty much sense on a second glance as it perfectly
reflects what our string would do. And for someone learning 'NOWDOC',
using "HEREDOC" seems just natural.
So I am all +1
Consistency and satisfying expectations rocks!

As the original proposer of nowdocs, I also give it a +1 for consistency!

Hi,
as we introduce NOWDOC in 5.3 it would be logical to allow a double
quoted syntax sister of NOWDOC which acts as HEREDOC (same as for $var =
"$var" vs $var = '$var'). Currently we have the following options:
$var = "Hello world";
$str = <<<LABEL
$var
LABEL;
$str = <<<'LABEL'
$var
LABEL;
The first one is HEREDOC and $var would be evaluated. The second one is
NOWDOC and $var would be used literally. The following patch adds a
third version:
$str = <<<"LABEL"
$var
LABEL;
This acts as HEREDOC, therefore $var would be interpreted.
Comments?
cu, Lars

Best regards,
Marcus
