Personally I don't even attempt to line up argumants on
continuation lines - it just wastes vertical space.
I just indent them as any other continuation line, so
double-indent if using 4-char indents and 1/2 indent for
8-char indents.
Tabs have to be assumed to be 8 columns, otherwise all sorts
of tools just get it wrong.
(Or you ban tabs from source files.)
