Not sure what this is suggesting?

I do it all the time. I write single line if/else like this (tab size 
is 3):

    if(some_condition)
          do_true_branch
    else  do_false_branch

But this may have started out as:

    if(some_condition)
    {
       do_true_branch
    }
    else
    {
       do_false_branch
    }

When I pack this together, I'll do a few selections which I replace 
with tab(s), like select from end-of 'else' to begin-of 
'do_false_branch' and press tab.

Perhaps I could test whether the selection starts/ends at BOL though.

Just to add, option-tab and option-shift-tab will also do it.
