Thanks.  Did you try "make bootstrap" with these changes?  The fact
that the new option is in paren.el but the code is in simple.el
worries me a bit: simple.el is preloaded before paren.el, so this
variable might not be known.  I think we should move the option to
simple,el, and rename it to blink-paren-SOMETHING.

Also, it is unusual to have a defcustom that names a face without a
corresponding defface that can be used to customize the face.  So I
think we should add a defface for the face used when the user option
is non-nil.

Typo there.

Also, the lines in the log message are too long, please make them at
most 70 column long.

Thanks.
