Using . (dot) as the heredoc end marker for let assignments

[Yegappan Lakshmanan]

Hi all,

Currently when using a heredoc with the :let statement, you have to

specify an explicit marker both at the beginning and at the end of the

statement. But when using the heredoc with embedded 

scripts (e.g. python), you don't need to specify an explicit marker at the

beginning and you can use . (dot) as the marker at the end. This is

similar to the ":insert" and :append" commands.

Should we also support using . (dot) as the marker at the end for

:let statements?

Thanks,

Yegappan

I rather not, it's a bad habit and easily leads to mistakes.
