By the way, the more elaborate parsing consists of looking for an

Only in the trivial case. What if you want to break your condition
over multiple lines? (Although you have to parenthesize or backslash,
so that's still unambig.) It's helpful to be explicit.
You said it yourself. Just look out for parentheses or backslashes.
C and C++ editors do that all the time with single-statement
control-flow constructs.
And what about an editor which indent when you press the spacebar or tab?
Sure, but a good editor helps out by noticing that you did something
that begs for indentation. If I put an open brace, SciTE will indent -
very simple rule.
What about braces in strings? There's always some parsing going on and
since you probably want syntax highlighting and maybe code
autocompletion, what's the problem with missing colons?
Moreover, I think that
if (............

is not very readable anyway.
