Whenever you type a self-inserting character that is a closing
-delimiter, the cursor moves momentarily to the location of the
-matching opening delimiter, provided that is on the screen. If it is
-not on the screen, Emacs displays some of the text near it in the echo
-area. Either way, you can tell which grouping you are closing off.
-If the opening delimiter and closing delimiter are mismatched---such
-as in @samp{[x)}---a warning message is displayed in the echo area.
