Software projects get created because someone has an itch to scratch.
Someone needs something that isn't otherwise available.  Or isn't
available in a way that meets their needs.  It isn't all that unusual
for people to find things that they think should be available but
isn't.  They create it and then it is available.  If you need it then
this may be an itch for you to scratch.

P.S. *I* don't need it because for me Emacs already works as I would
like it to work here.  The Emacs fill-adapt module by Kyle Jones
already does smart indention for me.
