I like the warning only when the indentation of the else does not match the indentation of the matching if. Most humans I think can follow the meaning correctly, if the code is indented correctly. The point of the warning would be to catch typos, and an else that isn't in the right column, is most likely wrong. Though, I'd argue that any else in the wrong column, is most likely wrong...
