I getcha, just been playing with it. It wouldn't be too hard to get
something like this working. Just need to give the editor a commandline
terminal mode. I think exposing this to stdin/stdout would be even easier.

that's what the parens highlighting calculates anyway, so it's trivial.

I don't want to move away from scheme, just maybe to a faster interpreter.
