Would it be possible to borrow from the embedded ruby syntax and define
something like this:
{{ variable.name -}}
{% tag param1,param2 -%}
If the '-' was present as part of the tag closure token, the template
processor would eat the next 1-2 characters only if they were a CR or CR/LF.
Although I suppose this might cause problems for some tags that had
begin/end pairs,
