​I am with you 100% on that. ​Python has a variety of indentation helpers
and that's something i'd like to avoid. Detecting the indentation of the
first line and removing it from all lines, if consistent (excluding blank
lines), would be nice. Still... Even though I'm not proposing heredocs,
every language with them has two syntaxes for it specifically to make the
indentation issue unambiguous. Waiting for more feedback can't hurt.
