What is right is that there's no question that quux is subsequent to baz 
in all cases barring exceptions (and assuming no tabs intermixed)

The apparent structure in python _is_ the structure, whereas otherwise 
you've got to count your ;'s and {}'s etc to determine and verify the 
structure matches the apparent structure provided by the programmer.

Whether that's what the specs called for or not is always a source for bugs.
