If you have 4-space soft tabstops, then to place that initial 'if'
you have to hit tab and then space. This is already at the level
where I would never do this without editor support. This aligns the
'if' with the other 'if's but the conditional as a whole still looks
unbalanced because the 'else's still stick out on the left side.

If you have a multi-line conditional, where does the 'then' go?
