Actually I missed that bit, I agree - it's better to put begin and end
statements on their own lines.
It makes blocks just that much easier to differentiate.

In C there seems to be two popular approaches, one putting the opening
{ on the same line (this seems to be by far more popular one in
languages like python) and the other putting it on it's own line as we
normally do with begin.
This is the GNU prescribed style I believe.

Either way I think it's slightly less important when you have a
single-character opening statement, when you have a whole word, it
changes things a bit.

Still - I would rather have OP which lets me define an indentation
style and then sometimes break it when it makes sense, than python
which dictates one to me in absolute terms by removing the block
statements entirely and making indent = block.
