It still does but if there is none it tries to find the expression we are in and highlights that (including any sub-expressions the cursor is outside of yet that are inside of this scope). Repeated pressing extends this selection outwards until we are at the topmost level where it stops doing anything.

This is about as smart as the existing blue highlighting, so it won't point out the issue with a expression like; "(foo { bar ) baz}" and will highlight areas that contain incorrect expressions. It acts slightly differently though, because when it starts searching it clearly doesn't know what type of parenthesis it is looking for. This only becomes a issue with incorrect code and verifying that the code is correct at all seems a bit beyond the scope of a tool like this. I haven't been able to make it react wrongly to correctly formatted code so far.
