<FROGGS> p: say qq:to/EOF/ ~~ /\t/;␤\thello␤EOF␤# the tab is preserved
<camelia> rakudo-parrot c14a84: OUTPUT«「  」␤␤»
<FROGGS> p: say qq:to/EOF/ ~~ /\t/;␤    \thello␤    EOF␤# now it is gone
<camelia> rakudo-parrot c14a84: OUTPUT«Nil␤»

In the second example it is meant to strip four space chars, but additionally
