I'm not sure what your point is. For one liners like you show it isn't perfect but then who the heck writes one liners like that? For longer blocks of code I find it much easier to follow if the closing bracket has the same indentation as the contents of the block. Why? It's simple layout and design. When the bracket lines up with the contents of the code block it's a striaght line all the way back up to the opening statement. However, when the opening and closing indentation match then your eye will be drawn to the right a bit by the indented code in the block as you follow it up. Very loosely: '|' vs. ')'.
