Yes, brackets (three types: ( ), { }, [ ]) are detected, paired and
highlighted by the shell, by plugin zdharma/fast-syntax-highlighting.
Also, after pointing cursor at some bracket, its matched, paired
bracket is highlighted with blue background:

The point is that the code of the solution guarantees correct bracket
highlighting and pairing, no quoting can disturb it, so e.g.
constructing a pattern- or regex-hogs is much easier now, such string
will be divided into blocks delimited by ( ) and [ ] brackets ( { }
aren't used, at least by patterns, AFAIK).
