In GNU Emacs 19.25.1 of Wed Jul 13 1994 on cheetah (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3)

The functions are usually very huge, and extend over more than one
screen. And so do some statements (like a while loop, or a case
statement). Therefore It is difficult to a brace matching to find out
about the corresponding beginning of the block. Can a feature be
included (equivalent of ESC-% in vi) so that once a cursor is placed
on { or }, the cursor moves to the corresponding brace and shows the
beggining of the block. (*NOTE*: I understand that "paren" cannot
perform this task if the block extends over more than one screen). And
if this feature can be locally added to make an approriate
enhancement, then please inform me.
