      Summary

      String::align is no longer required with the withdrawal of JEP 326: Raw String Literals (Preview).

      Problem

      String::align was created specifically for incidental space removal in Raw String Literals.

      Solution

      Remove String::align

          -     * each non-blank line (as defined by {@link String#isBlank()}), the
          -     * leading {@link Character#isWhitespace(int) white space} characters are
          -     * counted. The <i>min</i> value is the smallest of these counts.
          -     * <p>
          -     * For each non-blank line, <i>min</i> leading white space characters are
          -     * removed. Each white space character is treated as a single character. In
          -     * particular, the tab character {@code "\t"} (U+0009) is considered a
          -     * single character; it is not expanded.
          -     * <p>
          -     * Leading and trailing blank lines, if any, are removed. Trailing spaces are
          -     * preserved.
          -     * <p>
          -     * Each line is suffixed with a line feed character {@code "\n"} (U+000A).
          -     * <p>
          -     * Finally, the lines are concatenated into a single string and returned.

          -     * that were indented the least will thus have no leading white space.
