I just thought of something.  Suppose your included text contains both
single and double quotes.  This will not be an issue with <<, but will
require extra effort (more than I care to expend!) with <<<.

write your template-like text inside the shell-program text as it
shall (and will) be seen at the target side, both forms of quotes
inclusive.

Right.  The point I was making is that this rates as a superiority of <<
over <<< - and answers the question posted in the OP: Is there anything one
can do that the other cannot?

As might have already got obvious, though, I use the '<<<' syntax
for other purposes than for such template files; for one-liners. In
that context mixed quote forms are not typical (IME) so that this
property of '<<' is not that important for me to have in '<<<'.[*]

Right.  Got it.
