I thought Quack already did this (I use it all the time), but I found
this in my .emacs:

;;
;; Redefine basic sexp movement for stupid Emacs 21
;;
(define-key global-map [(meta left)] 'backward-sexp)
(define-key global-map [(meta right)] 'forward-sexp)

So they've been there for a while...

These days I use paredit.el (in addition to Quack and Geiser) which
does the sexp editing thing really well.
