The current negative logic embodied in the variable name can be confusing, e.g.: (setq blink-matching-paren-dont-ignore-comments t) I think it would be clearer if positive logic were used, e.g. (setq blink-matching-paren-ignore-comments t) I agree, but I am not sure it is worth changing this variable. I wonder if anyone really wants the other non-default behavior. I don't think it is worth putting this var in the manual.
