OK, but I'd restrict the set even more to exclude voluntary indentation. I mean, you'd want that caught by style checkers anyway, even if the language didn't require it.
So we're left with the cases where you'd like compact code / one-liners but are forced to use multiple lines for language syntax reasons.
I'd say that that's a pretty small set of cases and long way from the phrase "I don't like whitespace sensitive languages" which you (and many others!) use.
I conceded it can be annoying in Python and I do wish there was an escape route sometimes.
