  Exactly how does the editor know where a block starts and where it ends,
unless it's *already* indented? How can you talk about autoindentation, if
it requires for the code to be already properly indented to begin with?

  Clearly your definition of "autoindentation" is not the same as mine.

  No, it's not. Why not? Because whitespaces at the beginning of lines are
a lot easier to lose than braces.
