We've had a couple of responses like that.

But one asked for being able to disable it locally (which we now can), 
and another later changed their mind.

Perhaps you are in the minority?

We could flip it on universally, and then later change the behavior in 
text modes if we get some more negative feedback.

As for how to do it -- maybe with a variable show-paren-global-modes. 
Semantics similar to font-lock-global-modes, but using 'derived-mode-p', 
I guess.
