I agree.

Would it be OK if we let show-paren-mode turn on
smie-highlight-matching-block-mode?

I just realised that it doesn't clean up the overlays when
smie-highlight-matching-block-mode is turned off.

Should I install something like this? An alternative fix might be not to
make smie--highlight-matching-block-overlay buffer-local which is easier
to clean up.
