Feature request: Parenthesis matching in text #5226

Description

@ragunyrasta

Wonderful work. This might finally persuade some of us Mac diehards to move to Windows!
Request: Create a new feature to allow the user to invoke parenthesis matching in text by double clicking on a parenthesis, anywhere in the terminal. If a match exists, the text from the clicked parenthesis until the matching parenthesis gets selected. If no match exists, the parenthesis that the user clicked on, is shown in red, or the terminal blinks. This is similar to xemacs' behavior, when initialized with the correct options.
