Ok, that's good to know. That page claims that Emacs "highlights confusing
opening delimiters (those that ought to be quoted) in bold red", but I'm
not seeing that in this case. Is there some setting to enable this, or is
it likely that some other elisp package I have installed is interfering
with this highlighting? Or can Emacs not catch this kind of misplaced paren
in a string?
