Not usually a fan of heredocs myself, but this is a pretty decent use-case for it! 😅

This took a little while to track down. I wanted to know about the 1.3-labs requirement as -labs is experimental/beta testing channel, not the stable BuildKit releases AFAIK, which I would not be in support of merging as a further restriction on build environments.

Thankfully, this was promoted to a stable in the dockerfile-1.4 syntax release. So it fits with the March 2022 requirement for other features we depend on with changes to Dockerfile for better build caching 👍

I should have been more clear. By writing since I meant that the feature was added in the next non-experimental version (1.4 - which we currently use). I totally agree, not to add any experimental things 👍
