Fine with me - at least w/ dedent() everyone can agree with the right 
behaviour (except handling of the first line?), and it would be general 
enough to be useful for everybody (no need for options/customization) - 
hence the justification for a position in the std lib. I haven't had 
much use for intricate wrapping/reformatting yet, but I guess I will 
once it hits the std lib ;-).
