All features of the filter and vim modules work with the latest beta,

The leading spaces are stripped before the buffer is saved to the file
temp.tmp. Is it possible for the leading space NOT to be stripped? (If
not, I'll just document this as a feature :-).

it is actually a feature to align the left edge relative to the least
indented so that we can use them inside other constructs
Now, as you're not afraid of low level code:
\unprotect
\unexpanded\def\StartAditya
{\buff_pickup
{Aditya}%
{StartAditya}%
{StopAditya}%
{}%
{\savebuffer[file=test-temp.tmp,prefix=no,list=Aditya]}%
\zerocount}
\unexpanded\def\StopAditya
{}
\protect
\StartAditya
Leading spaces
And some more
\StopAditya
(1)
\typebuffer[Aditya]
(2)
\typefile{test-temp.tmp}
Does what you want but of course it's sort of ugly for a module to do
that. What we can do is this which is still ugly but picking up verbatim
is always ugly:
\unprotect
\def\buff_start_indeed#1#2#3#4%
{\edef\p_strip{\namedbufferparameter{#1}\c!strip}%
\normalexpanded{\buff_pickup{#2}{#3}{#4}{}{\buff_stop{#4}}\ifx\p_strip\v!no\zerocount\else\plusone\fi}}
\protect
\definebuffer[Aditya][strip=no]
\startAditya
Leading spaces
And some more
And even more
\stopAditya
\typeAditya
But then we need Wolfgang to double check if this extension has side
effects elsewhere.
