I'm tellin ya.....

Do this:

Go into *scratch*
Turn on "Options/Paren Highlighting/Expression"
Type blah ( hello [ world ] ) :-)

You'll notice as you type the various end parens that the area between
the paren and its opening paren is highlighted!  (I really can't live
without this now).  Note that the paren on the smiley is not
highlighted at all. Also, try this:

( hello :-] ) 

Which will display the ] in an error color actually...
