Easy!  Instead of, e.g.,

    if 1:
        x = {1: 'a', 2: {'b': 3}}
        print x

we'll rehabilitate indentation for dict literals:

    if 1 {
 x =
     1: 'a'
     2:
         'b': 3
  print x
 }

IOW, the body of a dict literal needs to be indented relative to the
preceding stmt, and the stmt following a dict literal needs to be dedented.
Apart from those rules, you can enjoy the readability afforded by curly
braces to start stmts wherever the hell you feel like, damn it <wink>.
