TO: Bash maintainer(s)

In section 3.6.6 of the Bash Manual, the phrase "are stripped" should be 
removed from the following paragraph:

> If the redirection operator is ‘<<-’, the shell strips leading tab characters 
> are stripped from input lines and the line containing delimiter. This allows 
> here-documents within shell scripts to be indented in a natural fashion.

A related question: 

In my Bash scripts, I indent using spaces instead of tabs but I'd still like to 
get this behavior. Why not strip leading whitespace?

Thanks,
Craig
