bug#29499: 25.3; bounds-of-thing-at-point for nested s-expressions?

[James Nguyen]

I’m curious if this is expected?

;; (bounds-of-thing-at-point ‘sexp)

Cursor is after ending paren of line.

(+ 1 1) ;; M-: (bounds-of-thing-at-point ‘sexp) -> returns (x . y)

(+ 1 1
   (+ 1 1) ;; M-: (bounds-of-thing-at-point ‘sexp) -> returns nil
   )
