+			If "eval" is not specified, then each line of text is
+			used as a |literal-string|.  If "eval" is specified,
+			then any Vim expression in the form ``={expr}`` is
+			evaluated and the result replaces the expression.

+				  some text
+				  See the file `=$HOME`/.vimrc
+				  more text
+				END
+<			There can be multiple Vim expressions in a single line
+			but an expression cannot span multiple lines.  If any
+			expression evaluation fails, then the assignment fails.
+			once the "`=" has been found {expr} and a backtick
+			must follow.  {expr} cannot be empty.
+			Currenty, in a compiled function {expr} is evaluated
+			when compiling the function, THIS WILL CHANGE.

 			{endmarker} must not contain white space.
 			{endmarker} cannot start with a lower case character.
 			The last line should end only with the {endmarker}
