That might be nice.  I also like the way, for example, iTeXMac works with 
smart pairs.  If you select some text and type the opening paren, brace, 
etc, it surrounds the selected text with the pair and moves the caret past 
the closing element (though it doesn't do it for quotes).  One of the 
other things it does that is usually nice is, when you have no text 
selected and type the opening element of a pair, it adds the closing 
element and positions the caret in the middle (like TM), but it also 
places an anchor after the closing element, so hitting tab after you re 
done filling in the contents of the pair takes you out of it.
