Yes. It is to achieve better consistency with cases like this:

    foo(bar,baz,
        {
            zot;
        });
    foo(bar, {
            zot;
        },
        baz);

where the latter previously was indented as:

    foo(bar, {
        zot;
    },
        baz);

which imo looks odd, especially if "foo" is a long identifier or
expression.

With something like this:

    (defun indent-to-boi (langelem)
      (save-excursion
        (goto-char (cdr langelem))
        (back-to-indentation)
        (vector (current-column))))

    (defun indent-to-boi+offset (langelem)
      (save-excursion
        (goto-char (cdr langelem))
        (back-to-indentation)
        (vector (+ (current-column) c-basic-offset))))

    (c-set-offset 'block-close 'indent-to-boi)
    (c-set-offset 'statement-block-intro 'indent-to-boi+offset)
