Suppose you are using expression style. Suppose you want to see if the=20 last parenthesis matches the one before defun. Or you have long clauses (let, if, when, unless). =20 > It isn't a bug, since show-paren-mode is not supposed to provide what > you want.

DOCSTING "Toggle visualization of matching parens". How can one visualise a matchin= g=20 parens if the matching parens is not viewable in the window? "show-paren-mode" should be upgraded, so that we would not need to find ano= ther one which is not built-in. At any rate, finding another one would make=20 "show-paren-mode" obsolete.
