Would this be enforced in the grammar or by the lexer? Since you say you expect the indentation to be enforced, that suggests it would be done by the grammar,
I think it could be done by having the lexer enter a mode where it swallows a newline that is followed by an indentation to a level greater than the starting level of the construct. Then no change would be needed to the grammar.

This is what I would like. It wouldn't require the ellipsis marker, AFAICT, and would eliminate so many parenthesis and backslashes from my code.
-1 on implicit line continuations. Having explicit parens (or even the much-maligned backslash line continuation) is a good thing, making it clear that, yes, the extra indentation is intentional. -- Steve
