rspec users - May 2009 - Cucunber - does not honour here-document syntax?

something_steps.rb

TEST = ''A constant''

puts TEST

SCRIPT <<-''END_SCRIPT''
...
END_SCRIPT

Then /.../ do

$ cucumber -r features features/lib/something.feature
A constant

Is this a deliberate limitation in Cucumber or a bug?
