Yeah, we could remove leading whitespace from all heredocs. I can't think of anything that's really whitespace-dependent and would therefore break.

PatchScript: <<

sed -i '/regex/i\

\tbar2' foo/Makefile.in

or for a multiline substitution, I see that with /usr/bin/sed
one can't use \n, but has to put the newline explicitly, preceded
by a backslash.

Similar pitfalls can occur in other fields: maybe every heredoc
starting with "#!" should be exempted...
