Seems like we have to upgrade that thing to have a complete
understanding of Python lexical rules --- at least enough to know where
the line boundaries are. Which is pretty much exactly the same as
knowing which CRs to strip out. So I guess we have a candidate place
for a solution.

Anyone want to code it up? I don't know enough Python to do it ...
