"-" is only supposed to be used in some edge cases where it's really
important that you don't have whitespace, usually there is no reason to
care for whitespace at all -- so it shouldn't make templates that ugly if
you don't use it everywhere.
{% stripwhitespace on %} at the top of your template, followed by {% for

And what about the other 1%, there are even cases where whitespace is
important ;) Either way, why is stripping whitespace the right thing to do?
Given my experience "I don't care if there is or not" is what's 99% true of
the time…
