This command is useful even if it doesn't fail on (...] because
forward-sexp and backward-sexp don't fail on (...].

It seems you and Martin prefer checking against the `insert-pair-alist'
because the function name `delete-pair' suggests it should be
a counterpart of `insert-pair'.  In this case I think we sould have
two commands: one more strict version `delete-pair' that checks
`insert-pair-alist', and another loose version with the name e.g.
`delete-parens' with the body of the current `delete-pair'.
