But yours is much cleaner, I like it. Thanks for that.

Here is a small example to illustrate what it does:

If you are writing a nested expression, like the following, and '_' is
your cursor,

{ (a * [(b) - (c) _

and you have bound ')' to paren-close-dwim (dwim = do what I mean),
three succeeding presses of ')' will produce the sequence: ])}. Or in
other words: ')' will produce the correct next matching closing
bracket regarding the position of your cursor.
