Indeed, this patch is problematic, since < and > is very often not balanced. As Aleix noted, this is the case for less than and greater than operations comparisons in programming languages, or the << and >> shift operators. The result in these cases would be more distracting than useful... The proper fix would be add a KTextEditor interface with API to do this animation, then KDevelop or Kile could use this API and trigger these animations correctly. That said, I'm not in favor of this patch, but thanks anyways!
