Technically a GitHub bug, but it appears to be pretty consistent: There's an extra space at the beginning and at the end of each line.
show-whitespace should skip these spaces when rendering embedded code.

If implemented, wouldn't the fix be broken for embedded code when GitHub "eventually" fixes it?

And then we'll fix it again, it's better than waiting until that _maybe_ happens.
