I need to ponder that.

A while back, on TSO-REXX, I advocated labelling END statements to
take advantage of the processor's enforcing that they match the
DOs, and complained that the processor ignores some mismatches.

A steadfast partisan said that doesn't matter; disciplined use of
indention provides equivalent function.  I said that would be true
only if the processor enforced the indention conventions.  Perhaps
Python provides the needed discipline.
