I've sometimes wondered if we should consider the idea of making line continuation implicit between keywords and their associated colons. This would also have the nice aesthetic quality of making colons serve a purpose.
Good point! I'm regularly niggled that backslash continuations are needed for long conditional statements where parentheses are not logically necessary (and look disturbingly unpythonic.) There's no ambiguity in allowing statements to extend until the colon, particularly if Greg's "at least as far" indentation rule is applied. +1 from me.
