If you honestly believed that, you shouldn't indent your code. In fact,
as an experiment, I encourage you to compare your code before and after
such a transformation. I assure you that the vast majority of the
population will be more quickly able to determine the location of a
start and end block when the block is properly indented with whitespace.
