this of course depends on your definition of "tidiness".
e.g. i wouldn't say that C++ code is more tidy/readable if the text was
neatly "justified" (as opposed to the usual "left-aligned"ness).

nevertheless, in my conception of "tidyness", Pd alignment is also more
important than in text-based languages.
i just want to propose that if the readability of your patche depends on
the alignedness of the 3rd outlet, you probably should break it down
even more into idioms that are readable "at a glance".
