We can provide a more sophisticated `Function<String,String>` replacer if we want to let user to customize all the details. This time we still only want them to be string literals. I agree we can keep the new lines inside, but trimming on each line and the final block is still useful so caller does not need to care about indentation and empty lines at both ends. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/8360
