I don't know if it works in Caleb's script, but this need not cause
any problems in a proper implementation of syntactic indentation, any
more than:

case foo:
  when 'bar'
    do_something
  when 'baz'
    do_something else

would, or for that matter

begin:
  do_something
rescue
  do_something_else

Certain keywords (like 'when' or 'else' or 'rescue') don't start new
blocks that need 'end' to close them, and they can safely be placed at
the same level of indentation as the blocks which must precede them.

One would be nice. Please, do try to make it a problem severe enough
to justify inflating the line count 20% or more, and also so critical
that people shouldn't even have the _option_ to use syntactic
indentation.
