Bash doesn't run object code, except in one very unusual situation:
a user-supplied loadable builtin.

There's relatively little information on those because they are so
seldom used.  Here's a small set of URLs:

http://cfajohnson.com/shell/articles/dynamically-loadable/
http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashLoadable
http://cfajohnson.com/shell/bash/loadables/

I don't see any direct connection between here documents and loadable
builtins, though.
