If you're going to provide "a handy way to write" something, at least make it
a "handy way to write" the version of that something that doesn't make it
easier for people to write exploits.
If the number of elements in <<foo bar $quux>> (or any similar construct)
depends on what's in $quux, that's not just hateful... it's evil. You might
as well go back to the shell.

There's stuff above here
