While compatibility is great, it is better when it is achieved by following
some sensible guidelines/standards. If wrong code like the first one is
working fine in one place, it is not exactly a good reason to make it work
in another. "Indentation is very important, but we will let you be sloppy
anyway." is not a good approach, in my opinion. Also, the notebook analog
of those two commands should be TWO cells, not one, and I have no problems
stripping a blank rectangle in front of the code.
