Package: emacs22
Version: 22.1+1-3
Severity: wishlist

The documentation of show-paren-mode (both the info doc and the
"interactive" one) do give some name of customization variables, but the
variable blink-matching-paren-distance is not mentioned there nor any of
its siblings (blink-matching-paren*). But this variable (as probably the
other similar ones) influences the behaviour of show-paren-mode.

This can be misleading to a simple user, even if (s)he knows the
existence of the blink-matching-paren* variables whose names are not
much related to show-paren-mode. In a case I encountered I was thinking
that a syntax problem (either in the file or in the emacs
implementation) was making a paren appear as unmatched whereas the
matching one was simply too far away.

So please add the missing information to the info documentation and the
documentation string of show-paren-mode, even if it is just a
few-words-long pointer.
