After RTFM-ing a bit on the googlenets, I learned that the 'r' command
has a special file name, '/dev/stdin' which makes the end result look
something like this:
sed -i '/\[section_title\]/ r /dev/stdin' /etc/configfile.conf <<EOT
foo
bar
blah
EOT
which is exactly what I was looking for.
Happy hacking,
