Then you need to throw out C and C++. It is a common fallacy that C is not sensitive to whitespace.

c+++++d;
c++ + ++d;
c+ ++ ++d;
c++ ++ +d;

The other problem is that people who are "rearranging whitespace" in C quite often get it *wrong*.

They try and rearrange

if (foo) {
    something;
}

to

if (foo)
   something;

and forget something.
