I am worried that (as no indent is required on the next line) it will accidentally introduce legal interpretations for certain common (?) typos, e.g.
x = y+ # Used to be y+1, the 1 got dropped f(x)
The Icon language also uses this rule, and I never experienced problems with it there.
OTOH, the "open bracket" rule is certainly sufficient by itself, and is invaluable for writing "big" list, tuple, and dict literals (things I doubt come up in Andrew's EFL inspiration).
