Hi Chong,

I tested your fix and it makes electric-pair-mode insert pairs in the
right order now.

But the bug is that delete-selection-mode destroys
electric-pair-mode's auto-wrapping ability. Unfortunately, your fix
does not address that.

Would you like me to come up with a patch that implements my
suggestions above in the BTS?

Thanks,
- Simon
