You got my vote. I'm all for the only surrounded by whitespace option.
"only surrounded by white space" doesn't work -- consider something like $foo[' which smart typing should match with '] automatically, yet neither the [ or ' are surrounded by white space.
"only FOLLOWED by white space" is a bit better, but still doesn't work
"only surrounded by white space or other smart typing pairs" is a lot better
... but I think in practice, it will take a lot of thinking before a real solution is found... no quick patch here :)
I don't know how this fits with other people's coding styles, but mostly I want smart typing when writing new stuff, and not so much going back editing old.
For example, if I want to go back and add an extra pair of submatch brackets into a regexp, I don't want smart typing coz it gets in the way.
So how about adding in the metric of end-of-line vs middle-of-line?
Unformed idea. blah.
