also insignificant, and so don't matter.

Drat, now I'm gonna be up at odd hours tonight dredging my brain
for such corner cases. My catalog so far:
- triple-quoted multi-line strings
- "\" line-continuations don't work with trailing whitespace
(though Vim's syntax highlighting flags them, changing their
color if there's whitespace afterwards)
- files that read themselves (or perhaps depend on
introspection/debugging modules to read themselves)
Any others that I missed?
