I presume that paredit is useful because it's a minor mode, so you can
enable it on an org-mode buffer (e.g. using babel). But if you are
editing a .el file, then emacs-lisp mode provides all these facilities
(C-M-f -> forward-sexp, etc.) and you don't need paredit. Do I have
that right?
Thanks,

PS. The ultimate *reference* for emacs lisp is the Emacs Lisp Reference
manual
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/index.html
At some point in one's emacs-lisp programming life, it will be necessary
to refer to it - but it is very much a reference manual, not a tutorial.
