Being able to control indents for a particular case { right-aligning variable names - while keeping "=" in line can be useful for instance }... Is the perfect example of why indenting should be left for the eye of the reader not the computer. It's exactly why I find python code difficult - nay impossible - to read at times. So you are really doing absolutely the opposite of what you are claiming... Obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder - but the one thing that C got right was using "{" & "}" to specify code flow.
