That's certainly possible, and it would also allow blank lines to NOT terminate
expressions in files.
The problem is that this means that *interactive* use becomes fundamentally
different than *interactive* use. That becomes a trap; you can no longer
usefully cut-and-paste code from a file into an interactive REPL, for example.
It's also confusing.
So I think the current rule ("initial indent disables indenting") has the best
trade-off.
