Well, RMS bless you! ;-)

I should clarify. I love the parentheses given how vim (and other editors, I imagine) can quickly move the cursor between matching parens/braces/brackets. There are times I add commented-out curly braces in more gnarly Lua code when block nesting isn't visually obvious.
That has me wondering if others have already solved that in vim to jump between 'end' statements and the variety of things that can begin blocks in Lua...?
