Agreed.  Patches welcome.

It would, indeed.  Of course, it isn't easy: CC Mode's indentation
rules are defined in terms of pseudo-syntactic parameters that don't
map easily (to say the least) into what a parser returns, and many of
the rules invoke CC Mode functions (as opposed to reference variables
and literals) that are specific to CC Mode and its analysis of the C
source.  Again, patches welcome.
