How is this run ? Do you have to manually press a key to do the matching
or does the routine get called automatically as you type (as in emacs) ?

I also don't see what happens if the opening brace is off the top of the
screen. For emacs, it shows the matching source code in the status line
at the bottom of the screen in this case.
