Should I submit a patch? It should be only a few additional lines
in PLy_procedure_munge_source(). Would you apply it only to HEAD,
or would it be considered a bug fix that REL8_0_STABLE could get
as well? It might be nice to have it in 8.0.2, whenever that comes
out.

Yeah, that one's a little extra work, but I don't think anybody's
complained about it yet. So far I'm thinking it only affects
multi-line strings as in the example I posted, and even then it might
not matter unless you use that string as a column value or return it
to the caller. If you're doing something else like building a query
statement, then the bogus indentation is probably irrelevant. It
ought to be fixed, but it doesn't seem to be squeaking very loudly.
