Not that I disagree, but coming from twenty years of Perl, it means
where nobody really understands the code of anybody else, that never has
really been a concern to me.

However, I discovered that Emacs interprets as well an empty line or a
comment as a breaking point of a block, it's not as good as the use of
pass because I still have to indent up manually, but at least the
indent-region does not break it.
