#59 indent for line-broken statements

[Anonymous]

When there are no operators to align on, astyle 2.02 left-aligns the lines in multiple-line statements

long_name_of_pointer_to_class
->member_function();

I suggest an option --min-instatement-indent, analogous to --min-conditional-indent,
that applies when there would otherwise be no indentation relative to the first line of the statement.

Or, more simply, indenting the continuation lines by a fixed one indent level beyond the indent of their first line.

I have same idea and find this before posting mine :-)

I will give an simple example:

In my code, I format following C++ code like this

XString sToday
    = pOciConnection
        ->SelectFetch("SELECT LOCALTIMESTAMP FROM DUAL")
            .GetString(1);

if I use AStyle WHITESMITH, I obtain following lines

XString sToday
    = pOciConnection
    ->SelectFetch("SELECT LOCALTIMESTAMP FROM DUAL")
    .GetString(1);

I'm interesting to have first formatting because it is more readable (for me).
