Autofs with the intr option

I have been mounting NFS from client side without the intr option but came across several books which uses the intr option. So, I did a little of search-and-explorations. A typical auto mount in would look like this:

#nano /etc/auto.master

/localdir /etc/auto.misc

#nano /etc/auto.misc

* -rw,soft,intr nfsserver.example.com:/exporteddir/*

The process cannot be interrupted or killed (except by a "sure kill") unless you also specify intr, which I would think stands for interrupt. Then again, if you are not in a hurry, then you can do without the intr option.
