-- <nowiki>
--- Unindent resets the indentation level of mulitline strings.
--  It is useful for multiline strings inside functions and large tables.
--  This module serves as a utility function for string parsing, [[Global
--  Lua Modules/Testharness|Testharness]] test suites, [[Global Lua
--  Modules/I18n|I18n]] datastores.
--  
--  Lua supports multiline strings in the format `[[\n...\n]]`. In general,
--  Lua does not outdent indented multiline strings out of the box. Though
--  Lua supports variable indentation in multiline strings, custom logic is
--  necessary to reset the string's indentation. This module adopts a
--  flexible approach based on string scanning.
--  
--  Unlike Penlight's `pl.text.dedent` behaviour where every line has the
--  indentation of the first line removed, the line prefixed with the least
--  non-tab whitespace is reset to zero indentation. Thus, the opening line
--  of the string may retain some indentation *if* there are lines of less
--  indentation terminating the string.
