Description
### Description
Statements in computation expressions, which should indent the following lines, but do not, include (those I found so far):
- for
- then
- else
They seem to work outside computation expressions.
### Repro steps
1. use emacs in fsharp-mode and type the following (and be amazed by the non-indenting!):
```
module issues
let indent_in_computation_expressions_not_working () =
seq {
for i = 0 to 10 do
if i % 2 = 0
then
yield "even"
else
yield "odd"
}
```
2. in fsi (dotnet fsi): `#load "issues.fs"`
> #load "issue.fs";;
[Loading /home/.../dev/fs/issue.fs]
/home/.../dev/fs/issue.fs(8,9): warning FS0058: Possible incorrect indentation: this token is offside of context started at position (6:9). Try indenting this token further or using standard formatting conventions.
/home/.../dev/fs/issue.fs(8,9): warning FS0058: Possible incorrect indentation: this token is offside of context
started at position (6:9). Try indenting this token further or using standard formatting conventions.
### Expected behavior
The indenting should be right, but it is as shown above.
```
module issues
let indent_in_computation_expressions_not_working () =
seq {
for i = 0 to 10 do
if i % 2 = 0
then
yield "even"
else
yield "odd"
}
```
### Actual behavior
```
module issues
let indent_in_computation_expressions_not_working () =
seq {
for i = 0 to 10 do
if i % 2 = 0
then
yield "even"
else
yield "odd"
}
```
### Known workarounds
use C-c> to indent every line in such a block individually.

Research direction
Reproduce the provided F# computation-expression example in Emacs with fsharp-mode, then inspect the mode's indentation entry points. Done means that `for`, `then`, and `else` indent their following lines as shown in the expected example, while the resulting file still loads in `dotnet fsi` without indentation warnings.
