...not really any cleaner, and generally bad practice, but it may be more convenient to modify the String object itself...
String.prototype.indent = function(indents) {
indents = (new Array(indents)).join(' ');
return this.replace(/^/gm, function(){ return indents });
};
print(indent.toString().indent(20));

Ya this is a little to adhoc to consider as a core prototype. + semicolons == lame
Cleaner way?
