If you remember, a few months ago I have written an automaton that in one for-loop over a sexp; it returned a list of the correct indentation for that sexp. It also can return a list of the positions and the deep-level of every sexp. More that that, I have said then that it is identically to the automaton from `parse-partial-sexp`. I have told then that my code can be used to colorize all the paranthesis into a different color depending of the level.

I do not understand why nobody considered my code. Otherwise I could have re-writen it in C and included in parse-partial-sexp, and this one could have returned information about indentation too.
