Note the shell is now at a PS2 prompt. The only way to escape the PS2
prompt is to type a closing paren, at which point you're at
heredoc>
But then gethere() is waiting for a single line consisting of the C
string "(\n)" which it is not possible to enter. The only way out is
to interrupt.
Brute-force patch for this is below, but it seems like we should be
able to catch it sooner? This appears to arise only because zsh
accepts <<(command) as well as < <(command) (note spacing).
Same effect with:
% true <<$'\n'
but there doesn't seem to be any good way to prevent that, and bash
5.0.17 behaves the same in that case.
