i can see it being quite useful when editing text where punctuation matters, 
but when it comes to source code it's really a pita ... consider:
printf("blah blah blah");
the first "blah is skipped over :(

so maybe some simple way to control the behavior ?  i use nano almost 
completely for editing source code of different sorts, but i'm not 
everyone :)
