> In the section https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#Here-Strings there is no mention (as far as I can see, it doesn't follow from the documented expansions etc.) that the result is terminated with a newline (see e. g. od <<<''). This puzzles users and leads to speculation - see e. g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33245568/why-does-bash-always-add-a-newline-when-expanding-here-strings - on correctness, dependability and intent of the behavior.

I'll add something to that effect.
