I withdraw this.  If we add str.dedent(), it must not be optimized for triple-quote literal.

Auto dedenting is very nice to have. It can be different from inspect.cleandoc().

We may able to cleandoc() automatically, even without `from __future__`. This can be different from str.dedent() or auto dedenting.

We already have a separate issue for docstring. And auto dedenting will needs PEP. How about focus on str.dedent() and change the issue title?
