Since you've asked that a couple times now,
here's my take on it.
It's not at all _needed_ for Lisp. And personally
I wouldn't find it useful for Lisp.
Lisp has simple syntax - it's sufficient to
balance parens. Automatic and on-demand
indentation work off of that syntax.
And most Lisp code does not have many-line
stretches with a large indentation, so you don't
often need to worry about line-of-sight alignment.
And checking column number is easy enough for any
exceptional cases.
Many other languages are different. For them I
can see how it could be useful for some users.
Just one opinion.
