[ESS] indentation of continued statements

[Neil Best]

I received a suggestion pointing me to ess-style-alist and I tried each 
of those options for ess-style but the behavior is the same.  My sense 
is that there is something hard-coded such that ess-expression-offset 
and ess-arg-function-offset do not work as advertised (see below). 
Maybe someone who is familiar with the ESS elisp can point me in the 
right direction?  I would appreciate it.
