        "lines" is a list of lines to dedent.
        "tabsize" is the tab width to use for indent width calculations.
        "skip_first_line" is a boolean indicating if the first line should
            be skipped for calculating the indent width and for dedenting.
            This is sometimes useful for docstrings and similar.

    Same as dedent() except operates on a sequence of lines. Note: the
    lines list is modified **in-place**.
