Sounds like you made a mistake, then, because indentation is optional in Haskell: https://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/Indentation#Explicit...

Which shows what most people prefer. None the less your concern is more than valid and a real problem.

We can't expect to not adapt editors to different code styles.
