( ... ) And without
language-sensitive editors and/or pretty-printers, it is very hard always
getting the indentation right.

Interesting. I have no problem getting my indentation correct
all the time, and I use standard vi, which is not language sensitive.
I wouldn't like an indentation driven compiler, however, because that
would enforce someone else's style on me, and readability is in the
eye of the reader.
