Leading whitespace in macros is stripped

[Jesper Harder]

Hi,

Consider this example:

============================================================
@macro quadrant {}
@example
                               Positive
                            Imaginary Axis

                                   :
                               II  :  I
                                   :
    Negative Real Axis .......................  Positive Real Axis
                                   :
                              III  :  IV
                                   :

                               Negative
                            Imaginary Axis
@end example
@end macro

@quadrant{}

@example
                               Positive
                            Imaginary Axis

                                   :
                               II  :  I
                                   :
    Negative Real Axis .......................  Positive Real Axis
                                   :
                              III  :  IV
                                   :

                               Negative
                            Imaginary Axis
@end example
============================================================

I would have expected to get two identical quadrants.  But the leading
whitespace is stripped in the @macro, so I get this instead:

============================================================
     Positive
     Imaginary Axis
     
     :
     II  :  I
     :
     Negative Real Axis .......................  Positive Real Axis
     :
     III  :  IV
     :
     
     Negative
     Imaginary Axis

                                    Positive
                                 Imaginary Axis
     
                                        :
                                    II  :  I
                                        :
         Negative Real Axis .......................  Positive Real Axis
                                        :
                                   III  :  IV
                                        :
     
                                    Negative
                                 Imaginary Axis
============================================================

This happens both in Info and dvi output.
