? Not sure what to make of this (cynicism or a genuine remark). I ment
they use different code paths (afaict).

Well, "should be part of the syntax definition" yes. But that's not
currently the case. So I don't see why we couldn't extend the current
functionality (until you've finished the syntax highlighting rewrite ;)

It's already there for the other brackets, and if this would be
configurable you wouldn't have to look at extra highlighted characters.
Maybe we should add a match for NULL strings to disable that code path
so we would make you even more happy.
