While that formatting does look nice, this would be a huge change to the
parser just to allow a new formatting style. Right now lines are only
logically joined if they appear between a pair of () [] or {}, or if the
line ends in a \. Besides the complication of joining lines under new
circumstances, all the current options have a marker that the parser knows
about before it encounters the newline. With this new proposal the parser
will have to walk an arbitrary number of lines ahead to determine if there
are going to be new indexing operations. That won't really work at all in
the REPL or any other line-fed interpreter loop.
Currently you can add parentheses to get just about the same visual:
(foo["bar"]
["baz"]
["eggs"]
["spam"] = 1)
