[bug #46995] Within 'define' newline is treated as non whitespace

[Brian Vandenberg]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #46995 (project make):

I don't know whether they'll want to fix this, but this is the pattern I use
for situations like that:


define SOMETHING =
$(foreach variable,
  list of values
, expression
)
endef


I would prefer leading commas as in:

define SOMETHING =
$(foreach variable
, list of values
, expression
)
endef


... because it's both readable and easier on the eyes in peer reviews, but the
way $(foreach) reads its 1st argument makes that unworkable.
