Glancing over the cheat-sheet, it looks like the only major change would be the fact that right-paren is not mapped to jump-outward; instead, I just use the right arrow for that (when there are intervening chars, I  use opt-up opt-right).

I think one could override on-delete, notice that parens were removed,
and then find and remove the matching ones during the corresponding
call to after-delete.

To make that work well, tho, it seems like one would want some kind of
"turn on paredit-like mode" in the preferences that enabled all of
this stuff at once.
