but the code you're referring to is for removing *leading* linefeeds
from the left, so that normalization won't have any effect, will it?
the code seems to be considering the possibility of mixed spaces/
tabs/linefeeds/carriage returns, and the normalization you're talking
about is only for the end of lines, no?
