How about adopting a version of the dangling-operator rule suggested earlier, but only for commas?

I think it could be handled entirely in the lexer: if you sees a comma followed by a newline, and the next line is indented further than the current indentation level, absorb the newline and indentation.

This would take care of all the statements I can think of that can't currently be parenthesised.
