Re: A Mandelbrot set generator in HG LISP

Turns out it’s a bit strange: you have to position the cursor *on* an
opening parenthesis in order for it to highlight the corresponding closer,
but *after* the closing parenthesis for it to highlight the corresponding
opener.

Actually, "point" is never "on" a character, it's always between characters.
So in both cases "point" needs to be outside of the parenthesis.
It's perfectly symmetrical.

It's just that the cursor by default is a block drawn on the character
that follows the actual placement of "point".  Try to switch to a bar
cursor and that should be more clear.
