Because if we're collecting the Subject once and for all at the top of the rc, I didn't want to have leading blanks.

This is the first you're saying that.

I will say, though, David, that I sure wish you had just suggested
syntax instead of asking me rhetorical questions.

Suggested syntax for what, though?   I didn't know what you were after.
You've just now said that you were trying to strip leading blanks.

I couldn't understand what you were getting at

... nor I you.

So that's why I wish you'd just state what works rather than asking
questions.  :-)

To determine whether something works, you need to know the desired goal.

I should know by now my memory has become Swiss cheese!

So is mine, but I'm older than you, so I've known for years.

If you want to match nothing, you should write nothing.

Right.  And if you want to tell me I should write nothing, you should
 tell me I should write nothing; not ask me strange questions that
send me on wild-goose chases.  :-)

Until I know what you're trying to accomplish, I can only ask you and
not tell you.
