Error messages emitted by this linting script are long and noisy, consisting of several sections: <test-script>:<line#>: error: <explanation>: <failed-shell-text> The line of failed shell text, usually coming from within a test body, is often indented by one or two TABs, with the result that the actual (important) text is separated from <explanation> by a good deal of empty space. This can make for a difficult read, especially on typical 80-column terminals. Make the messages more compact and perhaps a bit easier to digest by folding out the leading whitespace from <failed-shell-text>.
