Long ago, I adjusted my text editor so that when the cursor is placed on

#if/#elif/#else/#endif (!). It's been incredibly convenient.
This has literally been in vim since I started using it, what, 15 years
ago? It doesn't matter.
When I'm reviewing a PR, I don't see the matching as easily. Even with
an editor tool, it's a lot of parentheses to look at.
An example:
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/5452
Introduced:
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/4027
Take a look at the original PR and see how the parentheses look fine,
very very hard to see that there is a problem.
