# roosto’s “Code Golf” v3 149 characters
# problem is #8 here: http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/16707/9-hole-challenge
# 
# The basic idea here is to go line by line, looking through the current line for whitespace.
# When we find a whitespace character we see if the character above it needs
# to have a non-whitespace character, a.k.a. a “supporting” character below it.
# If the “supporting” character above the whitespace character is not '/' or '\', a.k.a. a “bracing” character,
# then shit is fucked. We make comparisons easier and severely limit corner cases by
# kinda normalizing the input with a few regexs before we get into it.
