style-guide: When breaking binops handle multi-line first operand better

   one member (except for closures with explicit blocks).
+- When line-breaking a binary operator, if the first operand spans multiple
+  lines, use the base indentation of the last line.
 - Miscellaneous `rustfmt` bugfixes.
 - Use version-sort (sort `x8`, `x16`, `x32`, `x64`, `x128` in that order).
 - Change "ASCIIbetical" sort to Unicode-aware "non-lowercase before lowercase".

 Prefer line-breaking at an assignment operator (either `=` or `+=`, etc.) rather
 than at other binary operators.
 
+If line-breaking at a binary operator (including assignment operators) where the
+first operand spans multiple lines, use the base indentation of the *last*

 ### Casts (`as`)
 
 Format `as` casts like a binary operator. In particular, always include spaces
