There's a simple solution to this, which we did in the prototype
WeScheme editor we built last summer, and which I noticed Eclipse does
too: if you type ([, and that's already in the buffer, the editor just
moves over the characters (ie, it's like hitting "right-arrow until
you're past the parenthetical character you typed").  Works great.

It obeys an important principle, which is that a person who knows the
syntax and is comfortable just typing it can continue to do so using
muscle memory.  This way they get the best of both worlds.
