//acme/wily shows its preference for c (style languages) by
// the ease one can check if/for/while/case/... balance by
// clicking inside '{'.

i don't think this has anything to do with prefering C-style
languages. ',",`,[,{,(,< (any others?) all work the same way. i
think it's more an issue of using the generality principle
again. acme doesn't have to know anything about any
language to match { to } and so on; to understand the Fun
or case declaration you gave would require special
understanding of the language. for example, acme knows
nothing of how to highlight an entire case clause, because
it knows nothing of the language.
