Behavior of first line indentation in paragraphs seems limiting #311

Description

As I gathered from the docs (as seen on the reference for the first-line-indent argument), the first paragraph on a page is special-cased to never have it's first line indented.

If I understand this correctly, that means not all paragraphs will have indentation applied, just like LaTeX does by default. If this is correct, then some styles will not be able to be represented with Typst. For example, in Brazilian Portuguese documents we are used to apply indentation to every paragraph, regardless of it's length or position in the text, and as such we use the LaTeX package indentfirst pervasively.

Did I understand it correctly?
