##### Heredocs
Heredocs are made in two parts, the _initiator_ and the _contents_, the _initiator_ may be used in place of a string (i.e. wherever a string is allowed to be used), with the constraint that the _contents_ must follow the _sequence_ that the _initiator_ is used in.
There are four different _initiators_:
- `<<-token`: The _contents_ may contain interpolations, and are terminated with a line containing only whitespace and then _token_
- `<<-'token'`: The _contents_ may _not_ contain interpolations, but otherwise is the same as `<<-token`
- `<<~token`: Similar to `<<-token`, but the starting whitespace of the lines in the _contents_ is stripped, note that this happens after any and all expansions/interpolations are done.
- `<<~'token'`: Dedents (i.e. strips the initial whitespace) like `<<~token`, and disallows interpolations like `<<-'token'`.
Note that heredocs _must_ be listed in the same order as they are used after a sequence that has been terminated with a newline.
##### Variable Reference
Any sequence of _Identifier_ characters, or a _Special Variable_ following a `$`.
Variables may be followed by a _Slice_ (see [Slice](#Slice))
