I must be misunderstanding what you have in mind here, but if it is what
I think it is, then I don't think this is a good idea. In C, whitespace
is only insignificant between tokens; in string literals it is probably
significant. And in python, you sure don't want to silently ignore it
if someone changes

    if x:
      foo()
      bar()

to

    if x:
      foo()
    bar()
