Originally I fixed https://github.com/ruby/syntax_suggest/pull/177 by making the process of comment removal indentation aware. The next commit is the more general fix and means we don't need to carry that additional logic/overhead.
Also: Update syntax via linter
When removing comments I previously replaced them with a newline. This loses some context and may affect the order of the indent search which in turn affects the final result. By preserving whitespace in front of the comment, we preserve the "natural" indentation order of the line while also allowing the parser/lexer to see and join naturally consecutive (method chain) lines.
