The open-paren-in-column-0-is-defun-start was a useful heuristic
optimization, which worked well in Lisp-derivatives and reasonably well
in C derivatives as well. It was a good tradeoff (the occasional
inconvenience was small and infrequent compared to the performance
gains).
Nowadays, the performance-v-correctness balance is different, and we
have enough resources to use another optimization, based on caching,
which does not suffer from those inconveniences.
