I never thought of it in this way. Instead I thought it was about
making the structure easier to see, understand, and navigate.
Conciseness is one part of the way to do that, but if it's too compact it
can make things harder to read. The old code obviously didn't leave empty
lines visible by mistake: it had special purpose code to make those lines
visible.
I don't have a strong preference between the two, but I expect some people
will not like your new behavior (if for no other reason than habit).
Stefan
