Ah, okay. Still, it's not something that scales up much, the way
horizontal whitespace does. You go to 2 blanks, and extras (sparingly)
between groups, but it's not like indentation, where nesting naturally
requires progressively more space. If you're nesting groups of
functions like that, you probably should be using something other than
whitespace (maybe separate files?).
