The behavior you see should be explained in the new docstring. Did you
miss this part in the diff?
+In addition, if the opening paren is not visible on screen, show

The opening paren. What "it" refers to is on the previous line.
I don't think this is unclear, but I don't object if you want to
improve it.

Yes it does, by changing t to non-nil. Or maybe I don't understand what
you are saying.
