Maybe. :) But if I'm going to type anything else at all on the given
line before typing RET, the hand is itching to reindent before that, to
make text look ordered.

I can see how this could be handy, but it's not an example I see
frequently. In part because I use `ruby-end', which inserts `end' after
one types a block beginner and SPC or RET. So one's inclined to produce
all `end' keywords that way, to keep them paired.
In any case, this seems to depend on the language having
keyword-delimited blocks and no semicolons. This does not characterize
the majority of the languages Emacs supports, I think.

I've commented on Alan's proposed plan of action.

The importance of this is not clear to me, but I guess it wouldn't hurt
to have this, either way.
