Splitting off from debbugs#60186.

Since this setting also seems orthogonal to the "simplified" preference, 
and it'll require some more work.

Here are a couple trickier examples:

takes_multi_pairs_hash(x: {
  a: 1,
  b: 2
})

and_in_a_method_call({
  no: :difference
},
foo,
bar)

AFAICT even Rubocop doesn't have a setting which would indent the second 
one somewhat reasonably, while keeping two-space indent before "no".

Yup, that looks pretty bizarre. OTOH, I don't see why a developer would 
put a newline between "]" and ")" in this case.
