     /**
-     * Removes vertical and horizontal white space margins from around the
-     * essential body of a multi-line string, while preserving relative
-     * indentation.
-     * <p>
-     * This string is first conceptually separated into lines as if by
-     * {@link String#lines()}.
-     * <p>
-     * Then, the <i>minimum indentation</i> (min) is determined as follows. For
-     * 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.
-     *
-     * @apiNote
-     * This method's primary purpose is to shift a block of lines as far as
-     * possible to the left, while preserving relative indentation. Lines
-     * that were indented the least will thus have no leading white space.
-     *
-     * Example:
-     * <blockquote><pre>
-     * `
-     *      This is the first line
-     *          This is the second line
-     * `.align();
-     *
-     * returns
-     * This is the first line
-     *     This is the second line
-     * </pre></blockquote>
-     *
-     * @return string with margins removed and line terminators normalized
-     *
-     * @see String#lines()
-     * @see String#isBlank()
-     * @see String#indent(int)
