Tree-sitter is just one way to implement a parser. Implementing
indentation as part of a tree-sitter Emacs package would be missing the
chance to use other parsers.

wisi provides indentation, navigation, and font-lock, with the
infrastructure to allow any parser; it should be straight-forward to use
tree-sitter as a wisi parse backend.
