I still fail to see how it decides between new line of code (same 
indentation level) and continuation line (exceeded 80 characters on a 
line). Both case require different indendation.

At least. ;)

But how would it solve

|type
|   FooBar = (Foo,
|             Bar);

?

The three spaces before FooBar are surely standard indendation (I use 
three, yes), so I assume it can handle that, but the rest has to be 
filled up with spaces. So what happens if I insert a "soft" tab after 
the equal-sign? Would it automatically detect, that "Bar" should be 
aligned precisely below the "Foo", but without the parentheses?
