How do you deal with leading/trailing line breaks in template literals?

This would be my main use case, but strip-indent only literally strips the indentation.

const fire = stripIndent(`
	THIS IS FINE.
	I'M OK WITH THE EVENTS UNFOLDING CURRENTLY.
`);

// => '\nTHIS IS FINE.\nI'M OK WITH THE EVENTS UNFOLDING CURRENTLY.\n'

I’m currently using this instead of strip-indent but maybe you have a better solution (or can extend strip-indent)

const fire = `
	THIS IS FINE.
	I'M OK WITH THE EVENTS UNFOLDING CURRENTLY.
`.replace(/(\n|\b)\t+/g, '$1').trim(); // Strips *all* indentation

// => 'THIS IS FINE.\nI'M OK WITH THE EVENTS UNFOLDING CURRENTLY.'

It was such a missed opportunity how template literals were designed. In Swift, this does exactly what you want:

foo(
	"""
	Foo
	Bar
	"""
)

let foo = """
		Foo
		"""

@sindresorhus @fregante I created a proposal to extend es6 template literals to allow for triple-backtick delimited literals that automatically strip margins: https://github.com/mmkal/proposal-multi-backtick-templates

It’d be great to get any feedback based on usage of this library on how you think things like this should be handled. My hope is for the default behaviour to be “what you want” for the majority of cases, therefore avoiding the need for runtime string formatting as much as possible.

Isn’t this request equivalent to outdent?
