[ESS] how to make close-parens indent identically to close-brace?

[Vitalie Spinu]

It could be added as there is now a separate treatment of closing paren
(ess-calculate-indent--closing-paren). But I would be a bit cautious of
that behavior. A widely accepted style is to leave closing parents at
eol after the last statement.

The biggest disadvantage of } is the interaction with the auto-insertion
of closing }.  Whenever you type RET before the closing brace, {|}, you
get indented at the beginning of line till you insert some ore text and
re-indent. There was even a complaint on this list some time ago.

As parenthesis are more common, I personally would be very annoyed by
being indented to wrong place each time I insert a new line after an
opening paren.
