Close, but not exactly the same:

  	coll do: [ :each |
  		statement.
  		argument.
  		resolution ]

If I could change the syntax, I'd make the vertical bar optional, because 
that's just a filler with no purpose:

 	coll do: [ :each
 		statement.
  		argument.
  		resolution ]

Perhaps this discussion will annoy someone enough to volunteer to finally 
write a configurable pretty printer. :)
