Re: [PATCH] multiple heredoc beginning in the same line

[Perl6]

it's not so difficult, really. you just gotta know the trick:

- cd into the repository you want, then run "git am".
- Use your mail client's "view source" function (ctrl-u in thunderbird
for example).
- copy the complete mail source including headers
- paste it into the terminal that's running git am
- hit return if necessary, and ctrl-d

done.

I pushed the patch to our repository. Thanks for your work, francois!

I agree but it was a lot simpler for me to send it by e-mail at the moment.
I will perhaps try to make a pull-request when I have time and access
at the same time.

Freely rephrasing POSIX[1] to adapt it to Perl6 the description could
be :

The first here-document begins after the next  and
continues until there is a line containing only the delimiter
(possibly preceded by spaces) followed immediately by a ,
Then the next here-document starts, if there is one.

So it is expected that $second does not include $first.

This will be much more likely to be applied if you provide a pull
request to the repo at https://github.com/perl6/doc
