[ruby-core:19106] Re: Indented Heredoc Whitespace Stripping

I didn't know this idea was around, but I would definitely
appreciate it very much; code with here documents either
is difficult to parse, or the data ends up with lots of
useless (and potentially harmful) blanks.

I only fear that this won't make the feature deadline
(which was September 25th).

Regards,    Martin.
