Bash Version: 4.4
Patch Level: 23
Release Status: release

Description:
        Intuitevely, (and confirmed behaviour of "csh" whose history
        substitution bash emulates), after a command of the form:

                $ grep foo <<EOF > /tmp/bar
                foobar
                abcdef
                EOF

        One would expect "!$" to be /tmp/bar, so that an immediate:

                $ wc -l !$

        should expand to "wc -l /tmp/bar" and output "1".

        Instead we get:

            $ PS1='$ '
            $ PS2=" "
            $ grep foo <<EOF > /tmp/bar
             foobar
             abcdef
             EOF
            $ cat !$ > /dev/tty
            cat 
             > /dev/tty
            abc
            abc
            123
            123
            <CTRL-D>
            $ history 3
                3  grep foo <<EOF > /tmp/bar
            foobar
            abcdef
            EOF

                4  cat 
             > /dev/tty
                5  history 3

        It looks like "!$" expands to the newline after the EOF in history 
entry 3.
        The expansion (as in "csh") should be "/tmp/bar".

Repeat-By:

        In interactive shell, expand "!$" after a command that uses a 
here-document:

        $ grep foo <<EOF > /tmp/bar
        foo
        EOF
        $ echo "--!$++"
        echo "--
        ++"
        --
        ++
