There is a problem with Gnu Emacs' paren checker that has been around for probably as long as Gnu has. It is described as follows: (defun foo () () () ;;; ()) <-- ) Gnu will barf at this because the paren checker isn't smart enough to recognaize that the indicated line is commented out. Now that we are using Gnu as our integrated editor, interfaced w/ Common Lisp via a home-grown CL-mode, we are very interested in getting this particular problem fixed. Are there any plans to fix it? (Lucid's Emacs used to have the same problem, BTW, but they've since fixed it.)
