[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

How can I set emacs to show parens when the point is anywhere inside of
them?

For example, with the point in the character "i": (po|int)

Coming from other editors, I expect that the parens are highlighted, but in
emacs they're only highlighted the point is on paren or immediately after
it, even with the variable "Show Paren When Point Inside Paren" set to "on".
