One problem of allowing intervening parens to adjust indentation is that the
following is also a possibility

    x = y + (
def (z):
    if z: return 'True z'
    else: return 'False z'
        )('arg for anonymous function') + ' & additional expression terms.'

I think it's better to ban this by completely ignore intervening parens as
far as indentation is concerned.
