Freely rephrasing POSIX[1] to adapt it to Perl6 the description could
be :
The first here-document begins after the next <newline> and
continues until there is a line containing only the delimiter
(possibly preceded by spaces) followed immediately by a <newline>,
Then the next here-document starts, if there is one.
So it is expected that $second does not include $first.
