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?

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