Description
Indent (a multiline) righthand side (list) expression assignment.
Meaning, for a (multiline) Statements.Right CommandExpressionAst (as apposed to Ast's that have already their own embedded indention, as e.g. a PipelineAst), I would like the righthand side to (optionally?) increase the indent:
Wrong way (?)
$List =
'One',
'Two',
'Three'
Correct way
$List =
'One',
'Two',
'Three'
Wrong way (?)
$4 = # or any lengthy variable name aka dot notation
2 + 2
Correct way
$4 = # or any lengthy variable name aka dot notation
2 + 2

Research direction

Done means multiline right-hand-side list or expression assignments receive the requested increased indentation without changing AST constructs that already manage their own indentation.
