Description

I see that you have a flag lconfig_indentWhereSpecial that, if I understand correctly, will have the where-keyword indented at half the length of a normal indent (or something along those lines) would it be possible to get a flag to have the keyword align with the block. As in:

f x = closure

Research direction
Examine the existing `lconfig indentWhereSpecial` flag in the brittany configuration to understand how flags are added and processed. Look at the indentation logic in the source code to see where `where` keyword indentation is determined. Propose a new flag (e.g., `lconfig whereAlignWithBlock`) and implement it similarly. Consider opening a discussion on the issue to clarify maintainer expectations.
