Not AFAIK. Care to write it?
Actually it was done in 1993. https://github.com/bvito/misc/blob/master/sam.el

Oh, hey. Neat.
As I'm running a Unix (Linux, at present), I really don't have the full power of the plumber at my disposal.
As for autoindent, I was talking about Lisp code, which most autoindenters don't indent properly. This is one of several reasons that the original vi had a dedicated mode for editing lisp code. Yes, really. You can look it up.
Anyways, I'm an emacs user. Saying we do everything through one program is like saying that every Smalltalk program is the same: we do everything through one VM. It's not as elegant, true, but it works right now. And outside of plan 9, acme and sam are a little hit and miss by comparison.
