 strings.

Tags: patch

Sometimes show-paren will highlight the parens that are inside a
comment/string which looks annoying and somewhat confusing.

e.g.
show-paren will highlight this paren:

  ;; :^)| <- cursor
       ^ paren highlighted as mismatch

or:
  v
  (
 ;; )| <- cursor
    ^ both parens highlighted

I've made an option for disable/control this behavior, by default its
disabled but I wonder if this should be activated instead.
