Kill whitespace before and after template strings

multiline.js

/**
 * A small helper for multiline template strings that allows you to
 * not worry about new lines and indentations within your code from
 * breaking up the format of the string. 
 * 
 * @param {Array} strings an array of Strings from the template, broken up by
 * where the substitions are to be inserted.
 * @param {Array} values an array of values to be inserted after each string
 * of a matching index.
 * @return {String} a template String without any prefixed or postfixed tabs
 * and other whitespaced characters.
