Description:
------------
why nowdoc can not be embed in heredoc but can be embed in double quote?

Why the second paragraph is right(using double quote),
while the commented is not right(using nowdoc)?

<?
$s='substr';

/*
$htm=<<<DOC
{$s(<<<'ppp'
abcdefg
ppp
,0,3)}
DOC;
*/

$htm="
{$s(<<<'ppp'
abcdefg
ppp
,0,3)}
";

echo $htm;
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Output 'abc'

Actual result:
--------------
Output:
Parse error: parse error, expecting `'}''
