Thanks for the pointer Tony. Now I've looked at the help for
'indentexpr' and realise I can call cindent() so I don't lose the
'cindent' functionality for all other lines, I may actually have a go
at this. It'll be a good introduction to programming Vim for me (and is
better than the other option I was contemplating - patching the source
code to do what I want with an extra cinoption :) )
