That would be a really unfortunate design IMO. It would mean parsing
data and interpreting what a line is *within* data rather than simply
searching for an end-of-data indicator. Sure, it should be possible, but
why unnecessarily complicate something as simple as DECK/DOLLARS (or the
heredoc of Unix shells and Perl)?
