Patch is attached.  To highlight the entire matched opening delimiter:
    (show-paren-mode)
    (setq blink-matching-paren-offscreen t
          show-paren-context-when-offscreen t)

I also changed the function `blink-paren-open-paren-line-string':
Originally, say here's a shell script
    case case
         ... <- many lines
         esac* <- cursor here
both `blink-matching-open' and `show-paren-mode' emitted "case c";
Now `show-paren-mode' instead emits "case case" if
`show-paren-context-when-offscreen' is t.

Thanks.  I finally chose the new face that you defined, because
"highlight" is difficult to distinguish against my dark background.
