Yeah, I think that might be easier to debug, since I doubt anyone is
going to take the trouble to translate the newlines correctly
anyway. :-)
And personally, I usually verify s-expression boundaries by using sexp
motion commands in my editor; the indentation would be a further clue,
but not really necessary -- if I were debugging something, I'd
probably be looking *very* hard at the exact sexps, independent of
indentation.
