+ Faheem Mitha <faheem@email.unc.edu>:

| Emacs has nice functionality for paren matching. Ie. if I put the
| cursor outside a paren, it highlights both that paren and the matching
| paren. However, it does not do the same for angle brackets. This would
| be very useful, particularly when writing C++ templates. :-)

These might be useful, at least if you use paren-mode:

    (modify-syntax-entry ?< "(>")
    (modify-syntax-entry ?> ")<")
