You don't edit more than one file? Why would the shape meanings in one file carry over to another? Generally, the only signal that may carry over is the indentation levels. For the intuitive sense you speak of to develop, your file structures have to be highly regular across the board. TBH, I haven't even seen conventional Ruby on Rails code bases that can give me that.

These are just two examples. Overall I would say that trying to notice and measure the effect isn't productive. It's just a bit of extra context I realized in retrospect.
