How's that going to handle this case:

if foo:             # comment that is aligned
    do some stuff   # across multiple indent levels

As far as I can tell, the model being proposed would align the indented
code either with the first line's comment, or somewhere after the colon.
I think it's excessively "clever" to think you can or should use the
same model to solve indentation as other forms of alignment.
