I've thought about this a little in the past, and I think it might not
be that bad, largely because in Python, every time that the indentation
level is about to increase, you put a colon at the end of the current
statement.

Maybe I'll try to hack something together.

I guess you can make the line numbers match up by simply putting all
the generated 'end's on the end of existing lines instead of on lines
by themselves.
