One of the first rules of hacking (IMO) is "get to know your
keyboard".  Leave the mouse for end users...

But that's beside the point -- if you need colors to know where the
parens match, then something is wrong.  Having consistent indentation
means that you don't even need to look at the parenthesis.  (I think
that I could manage with all my parens being invisible.)
