I consider that a plus.  It is part of Python's basic indented statement 
structure, which makes it easy to read.  Also, it is possibly more common 
to have more that one statement in outer context.

The problem and danger with lcs is that they can be used to turn perfectly 
readable code into something much less readable.  They are useful for 
compact expressions that can be easily comprehended in one reading, but can 
be pushed too far.
