The emacs tcl mode auto-indents like this:
```
set options [list a \
b c \
d \
e]
```
Tclfmt formats this code like this instead:
```
set options [list a \
b c \
d \
e]
```
Add an option `--emacs` that uses the emacs tcl mode style instead.
The option is incomplete, which is why it's marked as experimental.

Thoughts on --emacs-indent to make the option name more explicit? Or do you expect you might want to put other style controls under this flag?

That name ('--emacs-indent') indeed is better for this particular functionality, but I intended to add the fix for #140 also under --emacs.
If you have a good name for that one though, I'm fine with using that one and --emacs-indent here.

This works for me, I'm happy to have a single flag gating an experimental emacs-like style.
