It seems that the theme of your [3/4] is exactly about fixing the
"end-of-heredoc marker is prefixed with dash, but the heredoc is not
indented for readability", so perhaps you'd want to stop this step
at turning the line to

>> -	test_i18ncmp actual - <<EOF
>> +	test_i18ncmp - actual <<EOF

i.e. "compare expected vs actual in this order", and then in the
next patch [3/4], edit the line further to

	test_i18ncmp - actual <<-EOF

*and* indent the here-doc at the same time?
