Ok, a more personal argument. I hate that this language won't allow
_me_ to lay out _my_ if's as _I_ want them! Especially as the rest of
Haskell lets the programmer choose the best layout, and just keeps
hands off. I can be convinced through logical arguments that all the
other restrictions/features of Haskell are a good idea, but this one
doesn't have a good reason associated with it.

Thanks
