My two cents - I haven't found another language that handles heredocs as nicely as Ruby does.
Perl Heredocs do the same things and predates Ruby's (at least they do all you described and a bit more). But what would be really nice is a way to write regex without \\ everywhere, as of now this is the single thing that makes regex in Haskell less pleasant than in a language like Perl (which has built-in support for them, but just to be able to ignore all escape codes would be really useful). -- Jedaï
