But what i'd really like is an IndentationError that shows
up whenever there's an indentation problem.

It doesn't even have to be its own class of error, i suppose,
as long as it gets indicated some way ("SyntaxError: invalid
indentation" would be fine).  This response would be good for 
all of the following situations:
       
    >>>  3 
      File "<stdin>", line 1
        3
        ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax
    >>> if 1:
    ... 3
      File "<stdin>", line 2
        3
        ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax
    >>> if 1:
    ...   3
    ...  4
    inconsistent dedent
      File "<stdin>", line 3
        4
        ^
    SyntaxError: invalid token
    >>> if 1:
    ...   if 2:
    ... 3 
      File "<stdin>", line 3
        3
        ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax
    >>> if 1:
    ...   if 2:
    ...  3
    inconsistent dedent
      File "<stdin>", line 3
        3
        ^
    SyntaxError: invalid token
    >>> if 1:
    ...   if 2:
    ...     3
    ...    4
    inconsistent dedent
      File "<stdin>", line 4
        4
        ^
    SyntaxError: invalid token
