+returns non-nil, or if you insert one of the \"electric characters\".
+The electric characters normally include the newline, but can
+also include other characters as needed by the major mode; see
+`electric-indent-chars' for the actual list.

+By \"reindent\" we mean remove any existing indentation, and then
+indent the line accordiung to context and rules of the major mode.
This is a global minor mode. To toggle the mode in a single buffer,
use `electric-indent-local-mode'."
