Same for me. I'd like to be able to copy a multiline string as it is without
having any control characters in there, e.g. imagine an SQL query which can
just be copied over into a databse tool and executed there without having to
remove leading and trailing characters.
I have nothing against *optional* leading and/or trailing control characters
for improved precision when required.
