Description
I often find myself wishing I could jump my cursor to the end or beginning of the current indentation level, using the same blocks already defined in the vim-indent-object implementation.
For example, if my cursor is on line 203, I would love a command that would move my cursor (not selecting) to line 214:
(This example was borrowed from https://github.com/michaeljsmith/vim-indent-object/issues/23)
If this were available, I would likely remap ( and ) to jump through indentation levels in the way described above. I have no preferences on what the default mappings would be.

Research direction
Start by locating the vim-indent-object implementation and the existing text blocks it defines. Trace how movement commands and key mappings are implemented, then define the start/end behavior for the current indentation level; done means the cursor moves without selecting and works with the existing indentation blocks.
