Indedent

Multi-line template literals make source code ugly. Packages such as dedent solve this problem however, interpolated multi-line strings in nested lines are not adjusted to match the indentation of the interpolating line.

This package indents interpolated multi-line strings, in addition to dedenting and trimming the template literal.
