I understand what you're saying. But even if there is a "matching"
paren more than 102k characters away (the blink-matching-paren-distance

Yes, I know the failure condition exists. But for every user
enlightened by a more verbose error message, I think there will be
hundreds more that will be unnecessarily confused.
