Hande empty lines in dedent

When reading #46, I figured the dedent function should behave similar to Python's textwrap.dedent
function.
In Python's textwrap.dedent
blank lines are ignored towards indentation count.
>>> import textwrap
>>> textwrap.dedent("""
... foo
...
... bar
... baz
... """)
'\nfoo\n\nbar\nbaz\n'
In the dedent
function from underscore.string
, blank lines count as an indentation of 0
.
> var s = require('underscore.string');
undefined
> s.dedent(`
... foo
...
... bar
... baz
... `)
'\n foo\n\n bar\n baz\n'
There are many cases in which ignoring blank lines is useful. I think this would be a better default behaviour, but it should at least be possible to make it behave this way by passing a parameter.
