Subject: XKCD/541 compliance, anyone?

Hi there,
it is so frustrating to be unable to use paren matching (like in
show-paren mode, or C-M-f & friends) when I use smileys. And this
*does* happen; comments in, say, elisp-mode seem to be safe, but in
LaTeX smileys do break my workflow. Try entering this in AUCTeX:
\textbf{Hello :-)}
then put the point at the EOL and press C-M-b.
I have a dream: to have the s-exp functions ignore closing parens,
brackets etc. /after/, say, things matching
[;:B]-?
(this regex should probably cover the most basic cases).
AFAIK, these functions are deeply hardcoded in Emacs; its behavior here
seems to be inborn and instinctive rather than learned and reflective,
so to speak. (I.e., it is based on the `scan-sexp' function, which is
written in C rather than Elisp.) I imagine that redefining scan-sexp in
Elisp is possible, but there might be problems with performance.
Did anyone try that? Am I the only one with this problem, actually?
