Hm. "No" what? "Difference"? What are you comparing?
I said nothing about a difference - nothing to correct wrt "the
difference", AFAIK.

Yes, it does. And? Does that contradict what I said? What I said is
that there is no apparent movement of the cursor - no blinking noticed,
when both are turned on.
1. Some people have said, and I agree, that `show-paren-mode' should be
on by default: highlight both ends.
2. Others have countered that an advantage of `blink-matching-paren'
over `show-paren-mode' is that tells you where the other end is,
when it is off-window. I agree: `blink-matching-paren' should
remain on (non-nil) by default.
3. No one (maybe you?) has spoken in favor of the jump-and-blink
behavior of `blink-matching-paren'. Some have called it annoying.
But turning on `show-paren-mode' nullifies this behavior, AFAICT.
Putting 1 & 2 together is what I suggested: (1) highlighting both
ends, from `show-paren-mode', and (2) provide an informative msg when
the other end is off-window, from `blink-matching-paren'.
AFAICT, turning them both on does 1 + 2 without 3 (no jump & blink).
Am I missing something?
