        * latex.el: Enhance brace pairing feature.
        (TeX-arg-insert-braces): Extend to be used with \bigl and its
        friends.
        (TeX-arg-insert-right-brace-maybe): New function.
        (LaTeX-insert-left-brace): New function.
        (LaTeX-insert-corresponding-right-macro-and-brace): New function.
        (LaTeX-find-preceeding-left-macro-name): New function.

        \lvert and \lVert are paired with \rvert and \rVert,
        respectively.
