bug#21294: 25.0.50; Make ‘blink-matching-paren’ work with ‘show-paren-mode’ flawlessly

[Mark Karpov]

Please see http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=21286 for
background for this issue.

As you can see from that discussion, Dmitry Gutov kindly implemented new
option for ‘blink-matching-paren’ as per my request. Now it can be set
to ‘jump-offscreen’, so when you type matching closing parenthesis,
Emacs jumps to opening parenthesis even if it's not currently visible,
then it quickly jumps back. (I set period to half a second, and overall
effect is just fantastic.)

The problem is that this doesn't work at all if ‘show-paren-mode’ is
enabled. I'm using ‘show-paren-mode’ constantly and I would like to use
it together with new jumping feature, that would be great.

Could you please make ‘show-paren-mode’ and ‘blink-matching-paren’ work
together?
