I've been missing this feature too.  The closest I've found is that  
M-] and M-[ will in- and out-dent while the cursor is in the middle  
of a line, though it does occasionally decide to move the cursor onto  
the next line, and it doesn't automatically choose the 'right'  
indentation level.

I keep thinking that M-] (to indent) and M-[ (to outdent) is the  
wrong way round, though.  Usually it's when you open a bracket that  
you want to indent, close it you want to outdent...  It's kinda like  
how I always get confused with look-up and look-down with a joypad in  
games. :-)
