It looks like you are trying to get what was once called the Whitesmiths
style.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentation_style#Whitesmiths_style
Back when the earth was still cooling, 1991 or so, I worked at Motorola
in Chicago and this was the preferred coding style for the project I was
a member of. Configuring indent was always a matter of trail and error
and the docs could be better. Using a config file, ~/.indent.pro made
things easier. I might still have a copy of that file somewhere, I'll look.
