So we are looking at a 4 space indentation for each basic block?

if ($a) {
    do_stuff();
}

How about "extended ifs"?

if(<some very long condition> &&
        <even more condition)
    do_stuff();
}

 - and -

do_stuff unless <some very long condition> &&
    <even more condition>;


Would that be 4 spaces from the indentation (as shown above) or 4 spaces
from the base line (would align the "<even more condition>" in the first
part with "do_stuff()")?  Alternatively do we do something different there?

Are there other cases worth considering/debating?
