For those of you who have emacs set up so shell scripts are in many colors,
save the rest of this message to /tmp/file.sh and then do find-file on it.

cat <<EOF
this is a file that shows emacs' disregard for the EOF that ends a
"here" document in terms of turning off the colors after hitting a
single apostrophe.  notice how the whole rest of the file is in ugly
"quotation color."
EOF

echo even though we are alreay here.
#and here too.  Idea: act like the shell: apostrophies are not treated
#specially in "here" documents.  Yes, I am not sure emacs is capble of 
#such inerpretation here.
#also--- "in" etc. reserved words should not be special
#inside here docs.
