I think I disagree that this condition should be handled by a file
specific template. I think it's a common rule (even if it's use is not
exercised liberally) in "key = value" type files to allow the pair to
occupy multiple lines if subsequent lines are prefixed with whitespace.
This condition should be handled generically, not on a file-by-file
basis, IMVHO.

Right. And I think it's common in "key = value" parsers to allow this.
We should be aiming to keep the number of "file specific"
templates/parsers down to the absolute minimum and leverage generic
templates/parsers for as many files as we can.
