set hereDocExample { In Tcl, the {curly brace} notation is strictly a here-document style notation as it permits arbitrary content inside it *except* for an unbalanced brace. That is typically not a problem as seen in reality, as almost all content that might be placed in a here-doc is either brace-free or balanced. The content of the braces is not interpreted at all; no substitutions are performed on it. The sole exception is that there is limited processing of backslashes; a single backslash at the end of a line causes the end-of-line plus all whitespace at the start of the next line to be compressed to a single space. }
