Hi,

In message "[ruby-talk:27733] here document strings and @#@#"

Paul explained what happened in [ruby-talk:27734].

But after that, I came to conclusion that immature interporation
string should be processed as normal string pattern as you expected,
to satisfy the principle of least surprise.  So I will fix this.
