[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I am using show-paren-mode to highlight watching opening or closing parentheses.

Have seen that putting the cursor on the opening brace highlights the closing brace. But putting the cursor does not highlight the opening brace. One has to go to the character following the closing brace. Because elisp customarily has many consecutive closing braces, using the consecutive character to highlight the matching opening brace is counter productive.
