On reading this, does it seem like the language parser itself should demand that the code is formatted correctly, rather than relying on a separate tool to format the code? I.e. incorrectly formatted code would be a syntax error.
That way all this hard work is off-loaded on human brains. They'll complain a bit but in practice will pick up very quickly where the line-breaks go.
(This would probably have to be a decision made by the language designers from the outset.)
