  So instead of just directly seeing the proper #end keyword at the first
sight, you have to be counting the number of #end statements.
  Suppose something like this:

#if(something)
#while(this)
#if(some_else)
#while(that)
#if(foo)
bar
#end
#if(bar)
foo
#end
#end
#if(foo)
bar
#end
#end
#if(bar)
#while(that)
#if(foo)
bar
#end
#end
#end
#end
#end

  Where does the first "#while(that)" end? How about the first #if?
  For example in the case of the first #if statement you could instaneously
say where does it end with a proper indentation. Without indentation you
can't be sure before you count all the blocks.
