Other languages I use are mostly amenable to the development of tools

If you add the normally redundant information in the form of explicit
dedents (anything starting with '#' and distinguishable from normal
comments), then it is not too hard to re-indent even after all indents
have been removed. I believe this has been dome more than once. By using
a stylized comment, the augmented code runs without preprocessing. I
also believe at lease one person has written a preprocessor for
'python-with-braces'.
