But they're *not* WYSIWYG, according to what you
naturally "see" when looking at the code.

Not sure about anyone else, but what I see is
some lines of text that happen to be indented
because the're part of a code block. I don't
see the indentation as being an intended part
of the string.

Does anyone have a use case where they *need*
the indentation to be preserved? (As opposed
to just not caring whether it's there or not.)
