Basic attribute-indentation is confirmed fixed on my end. Still no 
fontification, but I don't think that's critical.

It's better, but not quite there. For a simple 1-level nested 
object-initializer, the line containing the closing bracket is still 
incorrectly indented:

I can't reproduce this. Are you sure the attached patch contains all 
your changes?

Looking at your example, your sub-initializer is actually a /collection 
/initializer, which may explain why it seemingly worked on your end.

Confirmed fixed on my end.

Confirmed fixed. This change alone makes things look much better.

In the process of testing this, I've also taken a look at some other 
keywords: const, string, bool, int, async and await.

From what I can tell, they all look proper except for "await".

Looking in the patch, I see it's not mentioned there, so it should 
probably be a quick fix though?

Looking at faces more in depth, I also see annotated functions are not 
getting their function-names fontified.

I guess this goes back to the overall complexity of the attribute-store 
and core cc-mode support?

I agree this is hard. Even trying to come up with some simple pragmatic 
rules, I'm constantly left thinking about "what ifs"... So we can leave 
it for now.

As for your test-file, I see you've added a multi-line case with a 
ternary operator. That made me look into multi-line statements in 
general. It seems they are not getting indented as expected:

Maybe if you figure out how to fix that, you will also fix the 
ternary-issue at the same time?
