New submission from 김준환 <xncb...@gmail.com>:
If use textwrap.dedent with string formatting, may get unintended sentences.
For example, a sentence like this:
```
import textwrap
def get_something_string():
return textwrap.dedent("""\
test text2
test text3
test text4""")
textwrap.dedent(f"""\
test text1
{get_something_string()}
test text5
test text6""")
```
I look forward to the following results.
```
test text1
test text2
test text3
test text4
test text5
test text6
```
But the actual result is:
```
test text1
test text2
test text3
test text4
test text5
test text6
```
I understand that this code works in this way because the intent of the string
defined inside the method is different from the intent of the string outside
the method.
However, regular users, like me, will think of having a consistent intent
result value. (because they believe dedent will clear a consistent intent)
If you are concerned that the existing code will be broken, I can implement
the function using the flag parameter.
If you agree with my opinion, I will submit a PR.
