unindent_inconsistent_nim.txt

The following example, showing three commands (cat, nim c and nim -V) and their output,
run inside a terminal on my Debian Linux system, shows that the output of unindent does
not remove the two leading spaces from bar and baz, but rather removes zero spaces from
bar and one space from baz.  (The "$" is my shell prompt, with a leading newline.)

The example comes from the Section 2.3.1 STRING of Dominik Picheta's "Nim in Action" book.

This is with the latest Nim Compiler Version 0.13.0.  I saw the same, or similar, results
from an earlier 0.12.0 version.
