A better proposal would probably be another string prefix that means "dedent", but I'm still not sold. doc processing software is clearly going to have to know how to dedent anyway in order to support existing code.
Agreed.
It is easy enough for any doc-string extraction tool to do the dedenting based on the common whitespace prefix found in lines 2 - n of the string. And that works on all sorts of string literals.
