I think it goes both ways. The advantage of formatting source this way is
that it works with a large subset of tools, rather than just one that's
been extended. It's a simple convention with a significant benefit.
I don't see it as being any different from having the compiler output
error messages in a form which can be processed by acme button-clicks.
