Thanks for testing.
I'm still waiting for Stefan to help me understand why after that
patch "M-x show-paren-local-mode" _disables_ the mode rather than
enabling it. Stefan, any wisdom?

It should be an expression that yields a boolean value (that's why the
variable is named "predicate"). I will improve the doc string when I
install the final version of the changes.

No, it's a real expression in Lisp, just quoted.

I don't think I understand what you have in mind, but let's wait for
Stefan to chime in.
