[racket-dev] Project Idea to port Paredit mode to DrRacket.

FWIW, I like the Alt-Arrows keybindings of DrRacket for moving around
s-exp, but they can probably be improved.
For example, Alt-Up goes up one level, and Alt-Shift-Up selects from the
cursor's position to the left paren.
It would probably be better if it selected the whole surrounding s-exp.

If you haven't seen it yet, you can also activate Edit/Racket/Automatically
adjust closing parentheses.
The new behavior of the double-quotes with this is great too (and goes
slightly beyond paredit, IIUC).
