+1 from me on this general style of layout.

Why associate the indentation level with the name of the identifier 
being bound? Treat the opening parenthesis as beginning a "suite" of 
indented key/value pairs in the same way as a colon introduces an 
indented suite of statements in other constructs.

It may not be part of the formal syntax, but it's consistent with other 
constructs in the language that _are_ defined by the formal syntax.
