One has to recognize that this is if-specific problem. I mean while is
*perfectly* readable without extra indentation. And given that it's not
unthinkable that you exceed line width, enforcing this on cases other
than if can feel excessive. In other words I'd suggest to limit extra
indentation specifically to if cases.
