I used to use this until I saw another post which
pointed out that Ruby string-interpolates inside
here-docs  :(
.... or  :) ?


puts 'AA'

<<CMT
puts 'BB', #{puts 'Oops'}
CMT

puts 'CC'


#-> AA
#-> Oops
#-> CC


(And it's not always so obvious what has executed)

Recommend .never. to use this for m-l-comments.
