I'm not in love with the name "dollar quoting" either ... but "here
text" would be quite misleading. See the archives for the discussions
that led us to develop our definition. The features that go by that
name usually have dependencies on formatting (ie newline boundaries)
that we specifically rejected.
Right now would be a fine time to invent a better name if you can think
of one ...
