[ruby-core:86526] [Ruby trunk Bug#14674] New mismatched indentations warnings?

Issue #14674 has been updated by zverok (Victor Shepelev).


I agree with @marcandre. I used to prefer "indented when" style once, and still think it is pretty acceptable. 

When Ruby has introduced interpreter warnings about mismatched indentation, I thought it is a good thing, allowing to catch obvious typos like this:

```ruby
def foo
  bar.each do 
end # forgot to close do/end of "each", hard to spot after a large methods

#...

# Without that warning, the interpreter error about missing "end" at the very end of the file,
# far from the actual point of error
```

But for being useful this way, the interpreter should report _only_ absolutely obvious and unambiguous typos, not "non-preferred style". Ruby is too mature to introduce hardcoded style preferences, I believe.

* Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
I recently got a failure in my test suite because ruby head warns of indentation it considers mismatched:

```
$ ruby -w -e "
case
   when :foo
end
"
-e:3: warning: mismatched indentations at 'when' with 'case' at 2
```

I hope this is not intentional and will be fixed.
