Might I suggest...

	/name
	{	line 1
		line 2
		etc...
	} def

Similarly...

	condition
	{	line 1 of true
		...
	}
	{	line 1 of false
		...
	} ifelse

etc.  This style (braces lined up with each other and outside indentation)
is nice for C, too...

	if (condition)
	{	line 1 true ;
		line 2 true ;
	}
	else
	{	line 1 false ;
		line 2 false ;
	}

I never will understand the attraction of braces that don't line up with
each other.
