I believe this feature request can now be closed (with PHP 5.3.0).

in addition we could make here-docs structured code friendly by adding
sth. like a parameter (don´t know where,maybe <<<3"MARK")
indicationg how many tabs are prepended, thus the above would render
echo <<<3"MARK"
\t\t\tHello
\t\t\tMr. Foobar
\t\t\t\tTest
MARK;
as
Hello
Mr. Foobar
\tTest
and not with these redundant 3*\t´s in front of every line
then users can user here-docs in classes and functions *without*
crippling their code to ugliness

The format of here-documents is as follows:
<<[-]word
here-document
delimiter
No parameter expansion, command substitution, arithmetic
expansion, or pathname expansion is performed on word. If
any characters in word are quoted, the delimiter is the
result of quote removal on word, and the lines in the
here-document are not expanded. If word is unquoted, all
lines of the here-document are subjected to parameter
expansion, command substitution, and arithmetic expansion.
In the latter case, the character sequence \<newline> is
ignored, and \ must be used to quote the characters \, $,
and `.
If the redirection operator is <<-, then all leading tab
characters are stripped from input lines and the line
containing delimiter. This allows here-documents within
shell scripts to be indented in a natural fashion.

Perl has <<"MARK" and <<'MARK' (as Stas told me),
it would be handy for PHP too...
I think sample code isn´t need, because it´s an existing feature in
Perl core devolpers know of.
