- That's how it's supposed to work, it's also how M-C-f and M-C-b work. Don't
- forget that the point is actually *in-between* characters, it's never *on* a
- character even if it is dispayed above characters.
-
- So the rule is: If point is just before an open-paren it blinks the matching
- close-paren and if point is just after a close-paren it blinks the matching
- open-paren.
