This used to bug me, too. But eventually I realized that it does not
really matter for my reading comprehension. It's like all those
parentheses bugging the Lisp apprentice in the beginning.

Rectangular block does still have an issue when a complex block is the
receiver of a message, such as with on:do: and ensure:

    [anything
       ifTrue:
          [...]]
       ensure:
          ["do something else"
          that ifTrue: [...]].

Because the lower part of the receiver block is indented, the ensure
could be seen as being inside of it, just at a glance.
But the style that puts the opening bracket on the previous like does
not solve this issue at all.
