String indentation feature request

           Summary: String indentation feature request
           Product: Commons
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Lang

        ReportedBy: mdang@interwoven.com


It would be nice to have a StringUtils.indentBlock(int size) method which go 
through a multi-line string and indent each line by size spaces, and/or a more 
general form of this.

This helps greatly on nested toString() formatting.  Such as a high level 
component spit out its toString() while calling StringUtils.join() to include 
its subcomponents' toString(), but you want to indent the subcomponent's string 
in a nested way.  Well, to push this idea further, we may want a self format a 
object's toString form as a nice indented XML string.
