Often what I'd prefer is:

    (operation object
      arg1
      (really-long-expression that takes a bunch of args)
      arg3)

Now that I look at it, that's just like the with-* case.

While I often like lining up all the arguments generally, it is the one thing that I "fix" manually from time to time when the loss of horizontal real estate becomes too great to tolerate. One possible improvement would be to change clojure-mode so that "with- *" (as a regex) would use with-like rules. A uniform rule for "do-*" would also probably work. Are the keys in clojure-indent tables literal strings now? Is there an easy way to make a regex work? Another common thing I've bumped into is that Clojure functions are often structured to operate on an object with operands. Currently that's laid out this way: What are the downsides to always indenting list contents that start on a new line as indented 2 (possibly optionally 1) from their opening paren?
