Yes - among other vertical alignment issues, like large parameter
lists. If I have a large expression, I'll probably use vertical
alignment to emphasise the structure...

  varname = (   blahblahblah
             op (   blahblah
                 op blah
                )
            );

Could split it into multiple statements, but IMO this is usually
clearer, as long as there's no repeated subexpressions.

Actually, Haskell even makes a similar vertical alignment style part
of the language - it's called the 'offside rule' and it reduces the
need for parentheses.
