Select inside/around indentation level

[MyApaulogies]

What if there was an action like mii that makes selections based on indentation levels? Here are some examples (left is before, right is after):

The use case that made me think of this is traversing files full of bullet points similar to the pictures, and wanting to select all children bullet points to extract them, outdent, etc.

Another use case would be selecting the contents of a {} pair to comment out, since mi{ also selects the newline after the first {... I know that's a bit of a dumb example, since you can A-;v and adjust the border, but the point is that indentation can be more intuitive and useful to work with than just brackets or treesitter in some cases.

Lastly, this would be a useful tool in situations where you can't rely on treesitter, either when it breaks, the language you're working with lacks support, or your language doesn't have simple {} or () delimiters for easy mi{ access (like XML).

There are a couple of details that might be wrong... The behavior of mii vs. mai in the pictures I just chose to match mip and map, but maybe it would make more sense for mai to extend upwards into blank lines (with Python/Yaml-like files in mind). Also maybe mii should be min or mid instead?

But that's the gist of it. Thanks for reading, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.
