    Not to "unexhonerate" you, but in the section The Ruby Language/The
Basic Types/Strings, about the middle of the section:

"If a quoted string was used to specify the terminator, its quoting
rules will be applied to the here document; otherwise, double-quoting
rules apply."

    It's hard to beat the Pickaxe book...
