hmm, so let's ask what such a balanced expression should be.
If we have the terminus of balanced expression, what will be the non-balanced?
A single operator for example "+"
while "4 + 5" might establish a balanced one. Agreed?
Single words and symbols also are not balanced expressions IMO.
When on ba|z
(foo (bar ba|z) quux)
C-M-b would reach |baz
(foo (bar |baz) quux)
i.e, it would do backward-word
a repeat would do backward-word again, a third would error
Can't see any relation to stipulated move over balanced expression here.
Looks fairly arbitrary.
CC to help, as it might be of some interest for others to.
