The unindented, unreadable shell script listing at the end of the linked blog entry shows why the absence of program-list indentation capability destroys its meaning more quickly than "rm ~".

Huh, could you elaborate? I found the script written by someone else but decided to run it through a beautifier; you're right that no indentation makes it difficult to understand.
