Note that this prints "\nfoo\n  bar\n" instead of "foo\n  bar\n" like
the original example would do.

Note also that if the text you are printing includes a } character, this
won't work.  You'll have to use %Q[] instead or %Q%some string% (or some
variant) instead, and it can get confusing trying to remember which
characters you are and are not allowed to use inside your string.  Since
here documents are terminated by a particular line instead of by a
particular character, they do not have this problem.
