Yes, that's unfortunate, but I still prefer the latter, and usually I accept
the hassle and realign the remaining lines.
In hindsight, I wish someone with a powerful time machine could introduce the
concept of "one-indent-level-and-half" for continuation lines: the statement
that most annoys me is the "if" when the condition is very long, because my
eyes suffer when I see the following:
if condition1 and \
condition2 and \
condition3:
do_something()
or even
if (condition1 and
condition2 and
condition3):
do_something()
at the point that I usually use a double paren just to have one single space
of difference between the continued condition elements and the succeeding
suite:
if ((condition1
and condition2
and condition3)):
do_something()
ciao, lele.
