-    method.
+    There are three supported styles of paren matching.  When a right
+    paren (opener) is typed:
 
-    The supported styles are:
+    opener -- highlight the matching left paren (closer);
+    parens -- highlight the left and right parens (opener and closer);
+    expression -- highlight the entire expression from opener to closer.
+    (For back compatibility, 'default' is a synonym for 'opener').
 
-    default -- When a right paren is typed, highlight the matching

-
-    expression -- When a right paren is typed, highlight the entire

+    Flash-delay is the maximum milliseconds the highlighting remains.
+    Any cursor movement (key press or click) before that removes the

-        - extend IDLE with configuration dialog to change options
-        - implement rest of Emacs highlight styles (see below)

-
-    Note: In Emacs, there are several styles of highlight where the
-    matching paren is highlighted whenever the cursor is immediately
-    to the right of a right paren.  I don't know how to do that in Tk,
-    so I haven't bothered.
+    - Augment bell() with mismatch warning in status window.
+    - Highlight when cursor is moved to the right of a closer.
