Hold on. I think I mis-read something you raised because of a misplaced referent. I wrote:

My statement was mistaken. I should have said that what is necessary to avoid auto-semi is (a) to insert the appropriate curly braces and semicolons where they belong, and (b) to avoid indenting a *continuation* line with the same indentation as the line it continues. It seems that all of my case analysis from earlier today should be viewed as suspect. In spite of this (and I'll review them) I *think* that I got the proposed layout processing rules mostly right.
