Have spent some serious time scrutinising show-paren-style.
I will explain the problem. Suppose your function is longer than your emacs
window.
Use "expression" as "show-paren-style", then go just after the last closing
parenthesis.
You get the associated region highlighted. BUT, try to scroll up the code, the
highlighting
get recomputed as the point moves across the window. Thus highlighting
capability becomes
useless when the part does not fit in the emacs window pane.
