    Merge pull request #1921 from bfroehle/_1890_magic_arguments_docstring

    magic_arguments: dedent but otherwise preserve indentation.

    Previously magic_arguments stripped all whitespace at the
beginning of each line, interferi
ng with formatting syntax which relies on indentation to give context
(e.g., code blocks). Now
the docstring text is passed through dedent to strip the global
indentation before being handed
 off to `RawDescriptionHelpFormatter` which preserves any remaining indentation.

    Thanks to @rkern for suggesting the solution approach.

    Closes gh-1890.
