I think this requires a config variable:

- The indentation you show above is the one that makes sense to me,
  where the \ is just a way to write "a b" on multiple logical lines,
  like you can do in most free-form programming languages, in which case
  "b", being an argument to "a", should be indented a bit deeper than
  "a".  I.e. the indentation rule pretends the \ don't really exist.

- The indentation you ask for seems to be based on the idea that "\" is
  a way to split a single logical line into several physical lines,
  doing a kind of manual "word wrap".

IOW the first view would want

    for f in a; do      \
        for g in b; do  \
            echo toto;  \
        done;           \
    done

[ tho I see now that the current code fails here (probably because it
  doesn't understand that the "do"s are "hanging").  ]

whereas the second view would want

    for f in a; do      \
        for g in b; do  \
        echo toto;      \
        done;           \
        done

I don't see a way to reconcile those two views, hence the need for
a config variable to choose between those two schools.
