I think that if you wanted something more like paredit, it might simply suffice to add bindings for the "closer" keys that mapped them to the search-for-end-of-sexp, though I do see (looking again at the paredit cheat-sheet) that the editor would have to distinguish whether or not it was in a comment.

In that case, maybe someone wants to re-tackle this.

I see some credible logic for that in "paredit.el".  Taylor Campbell 
does good work, even on Emacs packages (which have to be kludgey to some 
degree).

Eventually, I will want to do something like "paredit" in Emacs, only 
layered atop the more precise syntax info that Meow maintains 
("http://www.neilvandyke.org/weblog/2011/06/#2011-06-20").  Meow is just 
rarely at the top of my queue, since Quack and DrRacket work well enough 
for me for now.
