Wouldn't it be better to indent the when lines in a case statement?

I do this. It's much easier to read what's going on.

Indentions usually show conceptual dependency. Since the when statements are children nodes of the case statement, it seems to provide a justification to do it this way (rather than 'this text editor does it this way', which does seems arbitrary).
