The patch will help show-paren-mode, electric-pair-mode and general
C-M-f sexp-base navigation.

Anyway, the specific issue I wanted your feedback about is a few
messages back in this thread. It's about the use of

>> (let ((citation-regexp (concat "^" message-cite-prefix-regexp ".*$"))

as a way to consistently detect citations (inserted using message.el's
message-cite-* mechanisms). This is because there are lots of variables
there configuring the prefix, spacing and some other options, that
reference this variable in a comment that I couldn't understand. Like
this:

        (defcustom message-yank-prefix mail-yank-prefix
          "*Prefix inserted on the lines of yanked messages.
      ->Fix `message-cite-prefix-regexp' if it is set to an abnormal value.
        See also `message-yank-cited-prefix' and `message-yank-empty-prefix'."
          :version "23.2"
          :type 'string
          :link '(custom-manual "(message)Insertion Variables")
          :group 'message-insertion)
