I'm not talking about the current code, but about the behavior we should
strive for.

Kind of: I haven't actually looked at the code, so I have no idea how
easy/hard it would be to make it behave like we want (and AFAIK, using
SMIE for C-style syntaxes is still an open problem, the first hurdle
being the choice of using either "{...}" or "...;" for the branches of
"if").
