[stringtemplate-interest] Newline removal

[Terence Parr]

Howdy.  Yes,I believe I agree. there are number of cases, such as the  
IF tag, that end up leaving a blank line if they are not evaluated.

Added. Sometime around January or February I think I will formerly  
redesign ST and start from a blank screen. I am having lots of  
conversations with Tom Burns who is a codesigner of the "language".   
Seems that you would like to be in on that discussion. ;) Are you in  
the SF Bay Area, btw?
