Actually after some practice and I suppose with some attention, you'll see that all indentation areas in your code will be multiple of 4 spaces, almost spontaneously, just because you are used to it. But, you are perfectly right, this could be very helpfull to beginners. This kind of 'new comer' point of view is most welcome here: it helps the software to fit everyone needs.
