I would prefer the following.  On my computer (windows) when auto-inserted
closing parenthesis is enabled, if I type ctrl [ then no closing bracket is
inserted but  ctrl ( inserts a closing bracket and ctrl { does nothing.  I
would prefer ctrl-( , ctrl-[ and ctrl-{ all don't insert a closing bracket
and also use ctrl-), ctrl-} and ctrl-] for the behavour you describe.

I would like a separate preference.
