But consistency is exactly what you'd be destroying here. Python is extremely consistent in that you ALWAYS indent after a line ends with a colon, and what comes after it is logically contained within that statement. It's about whether *people* can handle it, more than whether tools can, and the consistency helps a lot with that.
