The "indentexpr" function is executed when a new line is created, but
also when something matching a part of "indentkeys" is typed; for the
latter case, you should ask yourself "what kind of things should
trigger a reeindentation of the current line?"

For instance, if you're writing this code in Vimscript:

if whatever
dosomething
end

one you've typed "end" you'll want that line to be unindented, so it
matches the first one (whereas for the moment it matches the second
one, as expected by default). That is done automatically because
"indentkeys" for Vim contains "=end" (just do ":echo &indentkeys" in a
Vim file), which means "reindent whenever 'end' is typed".

Note that the default value of "indentkeys" might already (partially)
suit your needs (for instance, it reindents on braces). I don't know
Specman, so I can't help you any further.

Best,
Paul
