Freely rephrasing POSIX[1] to adapt it to Perl6 the description could
be :

    The first here-document begins after the next <newline> and
    continues until there is a line containing only the delimiter
    (possibly preceded by spaces) followed immediately by a <newline>,
    Then the next here-document starts, if there is one.

So it is expected that $second does not include $first.
