Also, I was noticing that we do not have any editor support for
recognizing or moving between matching parenthesis, and that would be
handy when refactoring code like this.  It's almost enough to make me
want to start using emacs again (but I stopped because of RSI issues
and my health takes precedence over ease of use).

FYI,

I have the following in my J startup script

   NB. Names to avoid confusing emacs with bracket characters.
   NB.   Monad          Dyad        Glyph
   NB.   ---------      -----       -----
                        Left   =:   [
                        Right  =:   ]
         Cap        =:              [:
         Catalogue  =:  From   =:   {
         Head       =:  Take   =:   {.
         Tail       =:              {:
         Map        =:  Fetch  =:   {::
         Behead     =:  Drop   =:   }.
         Curtail    =:              }:

so I can not use the characters that confuse emacs.  This is a tiny subset of 
the definitions offered by primitiv.ijs[1][2], but I wrote these before I knew 
about the primitives package.
