Shell-script mode indentation not hip to && and probably || too

Shell-script mode indentation not hip to && and probably || too

[Dan Jacobson]

Well, there I was typing away in Shell-script[sh] mode, hitting tab
all the while to ensure proper indentation, when all the sudden, I
noticed that the lines after a && were not more indented, like it was
no big deal.
{
    for i in ${@?}
      do
      grep -i \\b$i\\b /usr/share/edict/enamdict &&
      at_least_one_found=1 &&
      echo =====
    done
} > $T.1

IMHO they should not be further indented, because the commands that make up a
compound command (joined by "&&" or "||") are at the same syntactic/structural
level (just like commands that form a pipeline joined by "|").

The thing that looks wrong to me above is that "do" is indented further than
"for ..." and "done".
