feature request: editor match brackets

Yes, I know about <SHIFT>-<CTRL>-B but that's ugly-ish.

What I'd like to request is a automatic paired-bracket color highlighting in a manner similar to what Notepad++ does (which, if you haven't used it, colors a bracket next to the cursor and its matching pair).  While it's nice to get that quickie highlighting while typing a line of code, in general it's a lot more useful to get a highlighting while eding code blocks.

Just a request -- I can live without it :-)

Just to understand - we do already highlight the matching bracket
when you move the cursor over/next to a bracket/paren. So is your
suggestion to make that highlighting longer/permanent as opposed to
flashing?
