Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] Double quoted NOWDOC is HEREDOC
From: helly@php.net (Marcus Boerger)

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!
