Hi Stefan,

I want something for octave mode that looks like something in the
attached screenshot. But since this is generic I would like to put it in
smie.el. Do you have any objections or comments?

It doesn't make sense for this feature and smie-blink-matching-open to
be on at the same time. So in the patch nothing is enabled.
