Thank you for the answers. As for being able to write the appropriate patch, well, I'm afraid I'm not. I wish I could, but no.
As for matchit, thanks for the tip, but I don't seem to be able to find the option to highlight the matched pairs in it, just to jump between them, and this isn't quite what I want, unfortunately. Or am I overlooking something? -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
