I don't like heredocs. That's mostly simple prejudice. I just don't like
them. However, when I rarely use them,

1) I always specify the quoting. That is, always <<"EOF" or <<'EOF' rather
than <<EOF. It makes what I'm doing more explicit.

2) I never use a generic short "EOF" that's too likely to appear somewhere
in any given text. Instead, I use something like "END_OF_BAR_SQL"

In general, though. I almost always use multi-line q[] or qq[] or q() or
qq() or q{} or qq{} etc.
