Yeah, you're right. I guess I'm thinking of it as two separate
functions, the blinking of matching parens and the determining if they
are mismatched. It would still be useful if it would blink matching
pairs of <> even if doing nothing else. However, this is not a new
problem, it already has to figure out if a paren character is in a
string or comment. I was going to say that the syntax highlighting has
to have solved it, too, but upon closer inspection it has not...
Anyway, it seems the number of people writing C++ with emacs must be
pretty large so I can't be the first one to think of this?
