I usually try to start layout on a new line:

    f x y = do
      a <- something else
      return someting

That way, when I change the first line, the indentation for the rest
remains the same.  As for tabs:  I get rid of them.

I don't see what the big deal with writing multiple "end"s is, anyway.
They're tiny!
