FWIW, I would also welcome improved indentation here.  Since
this seems to be an issue of 'personally quite like', this really should
not be hard coded but configurable IMO.

I see that since this does not affect functionality, it has no high
priority, though.

PS: 
My use cases are often ggplots with long continuations like:
  ggplot(data, aes(x=x, y=y)) +
    geom_boxplot() +
    facet_grid() +
    xlab() +
    theme()
