I've never used Python and only know about it what I've heard people say
here.  However, it seems to me that enforcing indentation (actually deriving
nesting information from the indentation as I understand it) is there
exactly to prevent the type of abuses you want to perpetrate.  You find it
restrictive because it won't let you make the mess other languages do.  That
sounds like a good thing to me.  In other words, the world is better off
with no code from you than with messy code form you.

Perhaps if you would provide a example snippet in legal Python and the way
you'd like to write it, we could come to a different conclusion.
