Is there any reason you wouldn't set up the heredocs first and then add
them to an array?

HD1 = <<ENDHD1
This is a heredoc.
The first of 2.
ENDHD1

HD2 = <<ENDHD2
This is the second heredoc.
ie the last.
ENDHD2

a=[HD1,HD2]

Waste of constants / variables.

Well, we are not advocating here documents in a row, we are just
answering a technical question about whether is possible to have them
that way.
