IMHO they should not be further indented, because the commands that make up a
compound command (joined by "&&" or "||") are at the same syntactic/structural
level (just like commands that form a pipeline joined by "|").

The thing that looks wrong to me above is that "do" is indented further than
"for ..." and "done".
