-# Stack Heredocs In A Method Call
-
-When you put a heredoc directly in a method call as an argument, it is only the
-opening identifier that goes in the argument list.
-
-That looks like this:
-
-```ruby
-execute_in_transaction(<<~SQL)
-  update reading_statuses
-  set status = 'abandoned'
-  where started_at < (now() - '2 years'::interval)
-    and finished_at is null;
-SQL
-```
-
-You might imagine then that we can put multiple heredocs in a method call. That
-leads to [_stacked
-heredocs_](https://www.visualmode.dev/ruby-operators/heredoc#stacked-heredocs).
-
-```ruby
-execute_in_transaction(<<~SQL1, <<~SQL2, <<~SQL3)
-  update reading_statuses
-  set status = 'abandoned'
-  where started_at < (now() - '2 years'::interval)
-    and finished_at is null;
-SQL1
-  insert into activity_log (name, description)
-  values ('abandon_books', 'Mark unread books as abandoned');
-SQL2
-  delete from background_jobs
-  where id = #{job_id}; -- better to sanitize values like this
-SQL3
-```
-
-Notice we terminate the body of each heredoc with its closing identifier and
-immediately begin the body of the next one.
