It would be expensive, but I'm not sure it'd be _too_ expensive.

However, if the goal is to provide a feature similar to what TT provides 
for controlling newlines/whitespace _around template directives_, then it 
should be done at compile time only.

What Alex was describing would affect all the output, including the output 
from interpolated variables/functions/etc. I think this would be too much 
for most people.
