    That’s an interesting idea. How exactly would you imagine it to work?

      There’s a couple of ways I can see it:

      • highlights unclosed pairs
      • closing pairs shown as faded / gray text, kind of like some auto complete systems like copilot in vscode.
      • it could be some key bind you press, and it closes the next unclosed pair

      The following is less preferred but still works: maybe the status line or a pop up shows the order of unclosed pairs.

        I think all of those suggestions are feasible. However, what should the plugin do in situations when a delimiter is deliberately left unclosed, such as character literals? I wouldn’t want it to permanently suggest the corresponding closing delimiter.
