The warning appears to be new in clang 10, because it doesn't exist in clang 9:

$ clang++ test.cpp -Wmisleading-indentation
warning: unknown warning option '-Wmisleading-indentation'; did you mean '-Wbinding-in-condition'? [-Wunknown-warning-option]

I can't tell if it's on purpose or not.  I wonder if it's worth opening a bug
on clang's bugzilla to ask whether it's intentional or not, it might help them
tweak the warning before it's officially released...
