In Lisp sources, closing parentheses tend to come in large groups, so it isn't always easy to understand which one closes the expression on whose opening parenthesis you see the cursor. > Symmetry for sure is a valid point and I will extend it if you think > it's worth it. I think it should be considered, but maybe you should wait for others to chime in. Thanks.
