Ah, great!

I did not change metapost indenting, but defined some rules for indenting 
of context files. I believe that your indent file does not attempt to 
indent context files (I may be mistaken because I am just reading the .vim 
files, not testing it as I don't have vim8 yet).

I know of digraphis but it can be tricky to remember all the mapping (for 
example for \subset, \circ, etc.). Auctex uses fairly intuitive shortcuts.

That will be nice. Then I can also send you pull requests for specific 
things.
