I don't like assuming block level based on position.  Anyway, it's not 
needed since even the simplest code editor can reformat the code to your 
specifications.  If you want to enforce a particular style of 
indentation, that's ok, but it's not the job of the language itself.  
The language could have ways of enforcing this due to some configuration 
directives, but it should not be enforced by default.  The language as a 
language, and it's parse tree, should be unencumbered by such notions.
