First of all those keys are stolen by paredit.

Second of all the UI for this seems like overkill compared to
highlight-symbol.el. It doesn't need its own window, it just should
highlight matches in the current window and allow me to jump between them
easily. But knowing emacs, there's probably some variable to disable
opening a new window with the search results.

And finally, it doesn't seem to highlight the matches in the buffer.
