I see, I think you can get the same result with
(add-function :before-until electric-pair-inhibit-predicate
#'electric-pair-conservative-inhibit)
But maybe it would make sense to add a third value to
`electric-pair-preserve-balance` to get the behavior you describe.

Do you have an idea of how/where we could change some of the
documentation to avoid that kind of problem in the future?
