I've listed them, but again:
 * You can read the class declaration; what it has, and does, at a glance.
 * Function's don't have a few extra tab's of white space by default. This
means you can more easily understand the flow of code within your class.
 * Your code uses less horizontal space.
 * I find it easier to review commit's in diff's, since I can clearly see
separation between API changes, and function implementation changes.

I find it much easier to detect the difference between 0, 1 and 2 tabs
deep, than 2, 3 and 4 tab's deep.
I believe there's an exponential falloff to your precision wrt estimating
tab depth the deeper it gets. This makes the code less easy to follow; "Am
in inside a loop, an if block, or a local function? What depth is the outer
scope of the function anyway?" while skimming through code.
