Sorry to break in to the conversation without even having checked the parent articles for what computer language you are talking about, but I would just like to note that like with the HTML language, some closing items that were optional later became required, and for good reasons. So one can predict the future here too. Hmmm, /bin/sh's <<EOF optional closing EOF won't bite you until one day you concatenate or nest or past/append what you thought was a comment... and there it goes, executing this very message. OK, never mind.
Here there was the opposite problem. People were putting php code after the ?> (or at least you needed to explicit that on all explanations).
