+1

I think that specifying exactly how to indent continuation lines, or 
even whether or not to indent them, is way too controlling for my 
tastes. I don't believe it makes that much difference. Like the brace 
wars, if there actually was any objective, meaningful, consistent 
benefit of one style over the others, there would be no argument about 
it. Instead, it's all subjective, vague, and far from consistent.
