Thanks, smie-config-show-intent looks like a neat debugging tool, I'm
sure it will help me understand how to achieve what I want (cf. commit
6392bc37a, which was reverted because of bug#50320).


I'm still at a loss regarding why this snippet returns 6, despite
sh-smie--indent-continuation returning nil:

#+begin_src elisp
(let ((sh-indent-after-continuation nil))
  (smie-indent-calculate))
#+end_src

This is not necessarily an SMIE-related issue; it feels like there is
something more fundamental I don't understand about what's going on.
This specific question is what prompted my message to help-gnu-emacs.
