Weird CoffeeScript indentation gotcha

Raw

This CoffeeScript...

->
  return if true
  console.log "foo"

...compiles to...

(function() {
  if (true) {
    return;
  }
  return console.log("foo");
});

This CoffeeScript...

->
  return if true
    console.log "bar"

...yields...

(function() {
  if (true) {
    return console.log("halp");
  }
});
