That wouldn't make any sense for show-paren-mode.

The cursor (point) is either between the ")" and " " characters, or
else between the " " and "(" characters.  Those are the only two
possibilities, and in each case you would expect show-paren-mode to
highlight the adjacent expression (to the left or to the right of the
cursor, respectively).

It's not documented as doing that, so there's not reason to expect
that it might.


I think you're looking for this library:
