Right.  The built-in blink-matching-open actually also bumps into
a problem, but just signals "Mismatched parenthesis", which is less
annoying but still incorrect.

But this leads to other bugs (try it with a comment like (* foo"bar *)
for example).

I think the only way to do it right begins by checking whether (1-
(point)) is within a comment.
