Not exactly. The ':' scope isn't terminated with de-dent, e.g. the 
language have to choose one of the two meanings in the following:

     foreach (i; a1):
       do_something_with(i);
      foreach (j; a2):
        do_something_with(j);

(Actually this applies to this 'with' statement too. In

     with (A):
      with (B):

should 'B' be nested in or replacing 'A'?)
