First, just to clarify those who have trouble seeing the horizontal whitespace, 
this is the same as this:

define foo(x) $ let
! \\
! ! var1 $ bar x
! ! var2 $ quux x
! nitz var1 var2


I don't think that's an *abuse* at all.  I don't think I would format it that 
way, but I think that's exactly right and intended.  After all, we *expect* 
people to do this:
let
! \\
! ! var1 $ bar x
! ! var2 $ quux x
! nitz var1 var2

So prefixing "define foo(x) $ ..." should do just what you've written.  And "$" 
is *intended* help counter the endless march of indentation.
