OK, I maybe should have suggested adding a preference.
But if you live in a world of paired parentheses (and I thought Emacs-Lispers were!) you want to add them in pairs, always.

I haven't done the work of surveying pairing packages.
I just happened to pick up electric-pair-mode from a specific package (I forget which), and since it is a global thing, it immediately started affecting all my buffers. It is nice enough, so I kept it on.
But the behavior I was fixing here is seriously jarring (as in *always* wrong) in my usage.
