this is one reason why i generally run all foreign-to-me code thru a "pretty 
printer" that formats the way i was taught to format pascal code... two spaces 
indention for each new section, not one or more than 2 and most definitely not 
tabs...

for example:

begin
   if foo then
     begin
       bar := foo;
       foo := not foo;
     end;
   if bar then
     begin
       foo := bar;
       bar := not bar;
     end;
end.

similar for var, const, and type declarations, too... always two spaces...
