I find it a little curious that nobody ever seems to advocate the use
of vertical tabs instead of repeated newlines. It should offer the
same benefit as horizontal tabs, namely that one could then
independently configure one's editor to separate adjacent code
elements with the desired number of blank lines. But I suppose that
nobody finds that useful enough to bother with in the vertical case.
