[Python-Dev] str.dedent

[Guido van Rossum]

>From the sound of it, it's probably not worth endowing every string
object with this method and hardcoding its implementation forever in C
code. There are so many corner cases and variations on the
functionality of "dedenting" a block that it's better to keep it as
Python source code.
