That. How do we solve this?

Wouldn't it be nice if space on the line below could be compressed too, so that indentation is fine?

That is, if I prettify ‘and’ as ‘∧’, I currently turn

    (and x
         y
         z)

into

    (∧ x
         y
         z)

which looks wrongly aligned, and then if I reindent I get

    (∧ x
       y
       z)

which looks like

    (and x
       y
       z)

to others who don't use prettification.

What if spaces inside of a sexp, under a prettified symbol, could be prettified too? So I'd see

    (∧ x
       y
       z)

but the buffer would really contain

    (and x
         y
         z)

that is, it would behave as if the text was really

    (and x
     and y
     and z)

only the two last ‘and’s would be invisible.

Of course this wouldn't solve every problem, (stuff that e.g. align-regexp produces would still be misaligned), but it would be a good start, no?
I wonder how hard it would be.
