With such nicely indented code a simple end is enough.

Jeremy's example is contrived. If all blocks are whiles: 

while complex-condition1 do 
    ... 
    while complex-condition2 do  
        ... 
        while complex-condition3 do 
            ...  
            lengthy code 
            .... 
        end while 
    end while 
end while


then one can still argue which end while is matching with which while do.

Which is why I would use comments in such a case: 

while complex-condition1 do 
    ... 
    while complex-condition2 do  
        ... 
        while complex-condition3 do 
            ...  
            lengthy code 
            .... 
        end while -- complex-condition1 
    end while -- complex-condition2 
end while -- complex-condition3
