Paired delimiters

[Uday S Reddy]

The Elisp manual says that the "paired delimiter" syntax class is "like 
string quote characters except that the syntactic properties of the 
characters between the delimiters are not suppressed".  But the 
description of the string syntax class doesn't talk about "suppressing" 
anything.  So, I am at a loss to understand what the difference is 
between the string class and paired delimiter class.

The context of my query is that I am trying to get the autopair-mode

 http://code.google.com/p/autopair/

to correctly in LaTeX-mode.

Cheers,
Uday
