Re: Customizing `blink-matching-paren-distance'

[Richard M. Stallman]

    (defcustom blink-matching-paren-distance (* 25 1024)
       "*If non-nil, is maximum distance to search for matching open-paren.

    If nil, search stops at the begin of the accessible portion of the buffer."
       :type '(choice (const nil) integer)
       :group 'paren-blinking)

That seems reasonable; would someone please install it?

    Also, users should not be allowed to enter a negative value here, but I
    don't know whether there's a standard way to do this.

There is no need for that.
