I already expressed my misgivings/opinion/ignorance about this in bug#77823, no? Or am I figured and this a different matter altogether?

Just to clarify, electric-pair-mode already existed when I touched it and it did some arguably interesting but not particularly stuff. I just added the pair-based-on-syntax-while-helping-balance feature. This, as far as I can tell, is a somewhat distinct area that isn't in my expertise.

My advice is to call Stefan.
