+   Add *prefix* to the beginning of selected lines in *text*.
+
+   Lines are separated by calling ``text.splitlines(True)``.
+
+   By default, *prefix* is added to all lines that do not consist
+   solely of whitespace (including any line endings).

+   For example::
+
+      >>> s = 'hello\n\n \nworld'
