chiming in here, because if this is what Will wants, (and even if 
that's now what he wants, I like the idea), then it sounds exactly like 
something else that I wanted, namely smart-typing pairs of groups of 
characters. For instance in LaTeX, when I want to insert matching 
literal braces, I need to have \{ and \} created. So I type '\', and 
then '{', and now it looks like '\{}' , and I need to remember to add 
the other backslash in, otherwise most of hell breaks loose. So it 
would be nice if TM recognized the pair '\{' '\}' as a smart typing 
pair, also for deletion purposes.

On a similar note, maybe this is an RTFM, but suppose one wants to 
insert only one parenthesis (for instance when typing the open-closed 
interval of the real number line, '(0,1]'. Is there a key, like esc or 
something, that would momentarily exit smart-typing status? It's 
probably not a problem most people have, and it is minor in my case 
too, but it's related to smart-typing, so I thought I would mention it.
