Honestly it would be very hard to tell if a statement is meant to be in a function but it isn't. Since ml syntax allows statements to be inside or outside a function, there's no way of telling if they belong to a function if they aren't indented. The only statement you'd be able to know should be in a function is the return statement. Other than that, you just have to assume that if a statement isn't indented then it mustn't be part of the function.
