<pre>@if(someBool){<text>output</text>}</pre>
<pre>@if(someBool){
    <text>output</text>
}</pre>

The above items create different output.
Specifically whitespace between { } is maintained when it shouldn't be on the second one.
The expected output for both statements should simply be "<pre>output</pre>".

Yeah. Already did and he said it was by design to preserve whitespace for stuff like lists. The only way to get around it is to remove all whitespace which can result in ugly, hard to read html/code blocks :)

Lol, alternatively @(someBool ? "output" : "")

That's an alternative to the specific example of a boolean check but it affects any block level code such as for,foreach and so forth.
