With vim 7.x, the matchparen.vim plugin is automatically loaded if you have
set nocp filetype plugin indent on in your <.vimrc>. To prevent the matchparen plugin from loading, one may put: let g:loaded_matchparen = 1 " don't load matching parenthesis plugin in your <.vimrc>; conversely, if you want the matching parenthesis highlighting and aren't getting it, perhaps you've forgotten that you put the line above in your <.vimrc>.
