For Python source I would want to compare with leading whitespace
significant but treating all other whitespace sequences as a single space.
Or even treating the whitespace as a sequence of <indent>/<dedent> tokens
as Python does internally, but that might be going a bit too far.
Certainly it would be nice to be able to ignore internal whitespace changes
on files while keeping indentation significant.
