Yes, this.  I omitted this case in my initial reply, thought of it later,
but didn't want to respond to myself to add it.

The here document case that I showed is pretty close to that.  It's
essentially a separate file that's inside the shell script, with
special delimiters around it.  That's what here documents were designed
to be, after all.

Beyond that, it would help us *tremendously* to know what Budi's actual
goal is.  (This should also have been on help-bash instead of bug-bash.)
