+==== Purpose ====
+In 5_3 we introduced NOWDOC in and it would be logical to allow a double quoted syntax sister of NOWDOC which acts as HEREDOC. The reason to do this is mainly consistency with with variable declarations:
+<code php>
+$var = '$var'; // Literally
+$var = "$var"; // Intepreted
+</code>
+==== Code examples ====
+=== Classic HEREDOC ===
+<code php>
+$var = 'Hello world';
+$str = <<<LABEL
+$var
+LABEL;
+echo $str; // gives: Hello world
+</code>
+"$var" is interpreted.
+=== NOWDOC ===
+<code php>
+$var = 'Hello world';
+$str = <<<'LABEL'
+$var
+LABEL;
+echo $str; // gives: $var
+</code>
+"$var" is taken literally.
+=== Proposed HEREDOC ===
+<code php>
+$var = 'Hello world';
+$str = <<<"LABEL"
+$var
+LABEL;
+echo $str; // gives: Hello world
+</code>
+"$var" would be interpreted.
