Re-reading Kevin's message I think there are two separate things here:
* deciding if the buffer is quote-balanced for pairing purposes. That
can indeed only be done according to your idea Stefan, i.e. finding a
safe spot the we assert to be outside a string.
* after having obtained reliable info that the buffer is unbalanced, we
can further decide if we want to surprise/disappoint the user. This
might be argued I think: if we know that there is an unbalance but
that it is outside the users view, decide to pair anyway. If it is in
the user's view, try to repair the unbalance by not pairing (this
second bit is what is already done)
I don't know if I personally would like it, perhaps it can be a
customization option.
