LPEX Bracket matching

When editing sources which have expressions that contain multiple brackets it is often difficult to see which open and closing brackets match.

Most other editors highlight the pair of matching brackets while navigating in the source, please provide similar functionality to the LPEX editor.


Use Case:

Expressions like for example ((a + b) / (c - (myfunc((a - b): 2))) make it difficult to see which bracket belongs to the corresponding open/close bracket.

Highlighting matching brackets while navigating in the source makes it easier to read this.

    I think this one is very similar to RFE 85661, right?
