The admonition applies not only to ‘if’ conditions, but also to ‘while’,
‘with’, ‘for’, etc.; and also to bracketing constructs like function
calls, literal lists/dicts/sets, etc. In a single statement, the
indentation for continuation lines should be indented two levels, so
that they don't look so much like a new block of statements.
