I expect here documents to be part of the shell syntax stream,
rather than part of the shell data stream.

Thus it did not occur to me that something like the following would
be even conceivable:

	{ echo ...; echo ...; echo EOF } | cat << EOF

as for multiple redirection in the same command, this doesn't bother
me as long as it is done left->right.

So I should be able to do

	cmd >file1 >[9=1] >[1=2]
