the point is, it makes code much more readable, because it reduces
"syntactic noise".
Programmers usualy indent their code carefuly in order to make the
structure clear to the human reader. Only those dumb compilers don't
get right what everyone can see clearly :-;
You know, the "dangling else"-problem...
Thus, its not mixing up style and content.
With this rule, indentation is no longer a question of style but
caries valid information content, that can be exploited by the
compiler to resolve ambiguities.
