[OS X Emacs] delete parantheses pair

Hash: SHA1

I want to code a function or a macro that would delete a pair of
delimiters (but not what is inside) and optionally the adjoined word

so this

{ abcdefgh }.sth

would become

abcdefgh

but as soon as I delete one of the delimiters I cannot move to the other
as it is no longer balanced.. how can I do this ?

maybe there is already sth similar implemented ??
