If one, two, and three are an arbitrary sequence of <...> bracketed by
HELLO and BYE, then the above looks like the proper indentation to me.

The indentation here looks wrong to me unless "one" is special in the
sense that it's some kind of argument to HELLO and "two" and "three" are
an arbitrary sequence of <...> bracketed by "HELLO <something>" and "BYE".

Which is it?  And if it's the latter, how do you distinguish the
separation between "one" and "two" (e.g. can the first line be something
like "HELLO one two" where the "one two" is the argument to HELLO, and
if so, how can you distinguish this case from the case where we have
"HELLO one" and the subsequent "two" is part of the inner sequence)?
