No, because what if "foo" is much longer? You could put a tab after
"if", but that means while-blocks are indented further than if-blocks.
And that just delays the problem to the third indent block, you've got
to find something to line that up to.
if foo("blah blah blah"): # comment
if bar("etc etc etc etc"): # comment
do stuff # comment
becomes
if foo ("blah blah blah"): # comment
if bar ("etc etc etc etc"): # comment
do stuff # comment
Maybe what we really need is a way to _display_ a multiline comment at
the right margin (and hanging down for as many lines as it needs),
without having it baked into the source code that way.
Source file contains:
### Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Etiam
### ut mattis leo. In sed arcu gravida, consequat tellus placerat,
### ullamcorper metus.
if foo:
if bar:
do stuff
###
some other stuff
(the last ### is just an empty comment to push stuff after it down past
the first comment - if another comment is there instead, it will be
displayed starting from the "some other stuff" line)
Displays as:
if foo: # Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur
if bar: # adipiscing elit. Etiam ut mattis leo. In sed
do stuff # arcu gravida, consequat tellus
# placerat, ullamcorper metus.
some other stuff
