Thanks, I tweaked your patch and added heredoc support to svn.
A few TODOs are left over:
* NOMMU will have problems running heredocs from subshells -
simple matter of adding as_string copying
* large heredocs need additional love - fork on MMU
and re-execution trick on NOMMU
but these are relatively easy-ish to fix.
BTW, NOMMU hush passes ALL testsuite entries since
few days ago, and I intend to keep it this way.
(Take a look how it achieves that feat)
Modulo bugs, hush is now head and shoulders above msh,
and _STILL_ a bit smaller.
Function support is the next major feature. (No promises)
