(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)
I think this is rather beyond the scope of show-paren-mode (which is a
pretty simple mode that just blinks parentheses, and not much more). A
new different mode that relies on language semantics to identify these
things would be nice, but I don't think there's anything actionable to
be done here, so I'm closing this bug report.
