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 ...
