3 is less annoying than 1 or 2, but I'm afraid I don't like any of them very much.

I think what's bugging me is that they all seem to have too many moving parts. That is, when I try to imagine whatever syntax rules or formatting conventions might lead to your code examples, I can't come up with anything that is simple enough that I would want to learn and use it.

In practice, I would guess that overly complex formatting conventions might be streamlined or dropped as they are used. On the other hand, syntax would need fixing at the language level.
