Colons are great for short snippets. However, blocks are far more
convenient for longer passages.

I don't think that the behaviour is fundamentally different. Blocks
that were indented using the old behaviour will still be indented in
the same way. The new behaviour is mainly more flexible. What
potential hassle were you thinking of?
