Following up the conversation above about string concatenation formatting, I tried using + on new lines as @gabrielfv suggested:

foo("one"
    + "two"
    + "three")

only to find that it doesn’t work with return, e.g. the following doesn’t compile because of + on new line:

fun bar(): String {
    return "one;"
        + "two;"
        + "three"
}

I’d argue this means that + and .plus() are already different enough to have different formatting 🙂 /cc @kevinmost

I don't know that that necessarily means they should be formatted differently. The only reason that that doesn't work the way you expect is because it resolves as return "one" and +"two" (the unaryPlus operator)

So a new unary operator call should definitely not be further indented, but if you mean it to be a binary plus operator, you should definitely indent it to indicate that it's a continuation of what you started on the previous line
