For what it's worth: there exists a small utility, or rather a
Preference Pane, called AutoPairs, freely downloadable from
http://www.jwwalker.com/pages/autopairs.html
which does the same, not only for all types of brackets but also, if
desired, for quotes. It works perfectly in Tiger for most
applications, the only exceptions I found on my system up till now
being MS Word and Spotlight.
