You're not alone in this thought.  Until comments are part of the grammar
it is likely a vain hope however.

But another approach is to read Kent Beck's Smalltalk Best Practice
Patterns and see if his arguments on formatting are persuasive.  This is as
good a style guide as it gets.  IMO, Smalltalk is not a curly-brace
language. [ & ] delimit an object, not some statements.  But many of the
original Smalltalkers formatted code as you do so I'm not right.  It's just
that I've rewritten lots of the Kernel code and so I'm overly possessive.
I hope you're not offended.
