Re: Highlight opening parentheses in show-paren-mode

[Juri Linkov]

BTW, this reminds me about another problem.  Saving the region into
the kill ring has a delay for showing the position of the mark.  This
delay is always 1 sec and can't be changed.  Instead of introducing a
new variable for this delay it makes sense to use a related variable
blink-matching-delay.  I think users customized this variable for
the delay to show a matching paren would prefer the same value
for the delay to show a mark position:
