A feature as low risk as changing a few lines in `shell-resync-dirs' for
it to handle whitespace was recently discovered to cause hangs.  What
would happen with an infinitely larger feature such as the change in
show-paren to display offscreen context?

I would want to see such an automatic process.  Would you please work on
it?  That should make it possible to automatically merge emacs-28 to
master as well.

Thanks.
