[OS X TeX] TS 2.38 parenthesis matching

[Don Green Dragon]

Hi All,

I would like to add to Herb's comments. See below:

>> The previous method of parenthesis matching i.e. double clicking on {}()[] still works.
>> The new feature doesn't work with delimited parenthesis \( \) for inline math mode; \[ \] for display math mode and \{ \}. I think that it would be desirable behaviour to match these as well but maybe there is something i don't see here.

>> Finally it should be noted that if the warning (beep/flash) is turned on then you can get false negatives:
>> \left(some math here\right] will trigger a warning although this is syntactically correct.

Personally I often use expressions like [A .. B>  and [A .. B) and so forth --- with fancier angle brackets, of course --- and these expressions are not typos. So, I'm not sure what to recommend.
