It is a bad thing.  Just because you could do worse in a language that 
is indentation agnostic, doesn't mean that you shouldn't discourage (if 
not disallow) such behavior in a language that is bases scope on 
indentation.

The above code shows how you can make Prothon code extraordinarily ugly 
by exploting the continuation rules.  Certainly most people don't see 
such ugly continuations in Python, but I think rule #3 is begging for 
trouble.
