#[doc = "

Removes the common level of indention from description strings. For
instance, if an entire doc comment is indented 8 spaces we want to
remove those 8 spaces from every line.

The first line of a string is allowed to be intend less than
subsequent lines in the same paragraph in order to account for
instances where the string containing the doc comment is opened in the
middle of a line, and each of the following lines is indented.
