Until you know what 'list' entails, " if list then list " doesn't answer
every question. I've never seen anything like this previously so I
wanted some knowledgeable comment, begging your pardon and thanks, I now
know that a here-doc is true as far as any following 'then' is
concerned, and any preceding 'if' test is ignored, which seems strange
to me, but there it is. So using that for commenting is not always
safe; lesson learned.
