This is how the following sexp gets indented by lisp-indent-line

((x
  y) a
  2)

This is how (I believe) it should be indented

((x
  y) a
 2)


This affects emacs-lisp and any other mode that derives from lisp-mode.

I'd argue that for Scheme, it should be

  ((x
    y) a
       2)

But in either case, the current indentation indeed looks wrong.

I see. In Clojure, the 2 would be on the second column. So I guess
there's no catch all solution here.
Should this be a var for the mode to set, then?

Yes.
