In this simple case I don't like any extra characters. The first example looks best to me. I know that in your other scripts you do have a need to display hierarchical information.
I agree, but at the same time I like the consistency of formatting it the same in every multi-line script. Of course, I'm not going to go through every .nse and re-format it, but I think it'd be nice to have a common style. Here's a thought: indent each line with tabs, and let the scripting engine convert the tabs to whatever it wants?
How about this style? If you have more than one line you add another level of hierarchy under the existing level.

I think the first one looks better. I'll stick with that, for now.
