I think I now see the reason for it.  I noticed that readline's default
vi keymap includes a binding for '%', which jumps to the paren matching
the one under the cursor.  That reminded me, from many years ago when I
used vi more often, that this is the way that old vi traditionally
allows matching parens to be found.

So, I guess the decision long ago to disable bouncing parens when in vi
mode was to match the way that emacs and vi behaved at that time.

However, I just tried modern vim, and I see that it now highlights
matching parens by default.  So, we should probably remove the 'if' to
match this newer behavior.
