GtkSourceView must have some way of dealing with quoted strings, and
given that some languages contain multiple quoting systems there is
probably a way of constraining paren matching to the current line.
http://developer.gnome.org/gtksourceview/stable/lang-tutorial.html
suggests that a <context with end-at-line-end="true" would deal with
that issue.
But another issue is that we would not want matching on [ ] and { } pairs.
Anyways, since I do not know where the paren-matching aspect of that
system is implemented, and do not know how the relevant declarations
are defined, I'd probably ask for help on stack overflow.
