Description

I know that's the pep8 spec.. but we've got 2 space indent dictated at my work. That breaks some things. it'd be better to provide some sort of override rather than have magic numbers in the code... e.g. if hang > 4: on line 512.

Research direction

Start by locating the E111 implementation and the if hang > 4 logic around line 512 in the repository's Python file. Read how indentation is currently determined, then define where an override would be configured and verify that two-space indentation is handled without the reported breakage.
