There are now several _str macros with corresponding _mstr versions, which are identical except that they call Base.triplequoted first. I think this equivalence should be built in: for triple quoted strings, do the unindenting, then call the plain _str macro.

Needing to write two identical versions of every string macro is annoying. Even worse, the two versions might be utterly different, including not doing the expected unindenting, which seems to be a mere obfuscation-enabler.

+:100: I've been meaning to suggest this for a long time, but wanted to understand the reasoning behind the current behaviour first.
