Hi the problem with the old way for me had been, that you had to place the 
cursor after the opening bracket, and if I'm using overwrite mode, the 
character after the bracket, has the block cursor instead of the bracket 
itself.

The emacs beviour sounds interesting. If you fix the cursor postion, please 
don't remove the symmetric 40 lines matching again ;)

Kind regards
