I thought of that, but it's hard to define which whitespace to ignore. You
often won't want to ignore all whitespace. Also, it would be nice if we
avoided adding too much API surface. If I heard a good proposal, I'd be
open to it though. In either case, it should be a separate thread from this
one. This thread is already too long to make sense of.
