This function is the default value of @code{blink-paren-function}. It

-moves the cursor momentarily to the matching opening character. If that
-character is not already on the screen, it displays the character's

Here is an example of calling this function explicitly.
This searches the region for identical lines, and removes all but one
copy of each repeated line. The lines need not be sorted.

** `blink-matching-paren' now only highlights the matching open-paren
by default, instead of moving cursor. Set this variable to `jump' to
enable the old behavior.
