That is NOT electric indentation.  The whole point about electric
indentation is for it to take effect whilst point is still on the line
being edited.  Thus, for example, you can see whether or not the line
needs breaking, or whether there's room for a short comment at the end
of the line.

What you're proposing is something which would almost never trigger,
since a line being edited will not have a parse tree without errors (if
I've understood that properly).  If it did trigger at some point, that
would likely cause annoyance and puzzlement.
