Because I want to pass the file through Org-Mode and Rec-Utils, which
require Org and Rec Commands to start at the beginning of the line.

My workaround has been to include the commands within Double Quotes.

(multic "
#+STARTUP: content
* Adds Directories to load-path and the Melpa Package Archives")

But it would help if we can think of an improvement to multic, thus
looking for ideas I can try.
