Multiline strings in JavaScript

This snippet does the same thing, mostly:

    var multiline = function(){/*
    foo
    bar
    baz
    */}.toSource().match(/\/\*([\s\S]*)\*\//)[1].trim()

Yeah, pretty much, but in Node we wrap repetitive things in modules, as they're super cheap. Your snippet is also missing some things like indentation stripping, error handling and browser support.
