Comment (by tim):
I agree with Neil. It has been a lifelong annoyance for me to not know
whether that error message is *actually* due to incorrect indentation, or
to mismatched brackets. I have no idea how hard it would be to improve
this in the current parser, but from a user point of view, it can be
enormously frustrating.
