I've always wondered about this quote. I'm thinking it means you might
want to have functions or subroutines, depending on the language, to
do big chunks of logic, so the main control flow is clean and easy to
read, like "structured programming" in COBOL. Still, every language
offers almost unlimted indentation, so it's up to the programmer to
not use it?
