[raw-strings] Indentation problem

[Brian Goetz]

In my opinion, this is actually the central motivation for the feature — minimizing the friction (both reading and writing) of embedding small snippets from other programming languages in Java sources. So this disadvantage is a pretty big one.  

That said, a library method to remove the piping (some variant of trimIndent) makes sense, so people who want to program this way can do so easily.
