Yeah, generally I feel like the indentation sensitivity was the right idea (the alternative evidently being worse compiler error messages, bugs like the `goto fail` vulnerability, and greater verbosity) but it causes real difficulties with the REPL, as well as with shell one-liners.

Jupyter fixes the REPL problem, and it's a major advance in REPLs in a number of other ways, but it has real problems of its own.
