Matchit was written by Benji Fisher. Support for matchit in a given language
is the responsibility of the maintainer for that language's ftplugin -- for C,
Bram Moolenaar. For C, I suppose there wouldn't be much to gain from special
handling: #if #ifdef #ifndef #else #endif maybe, but what about the same with
one or more spaces immediately after the # ? And then maybe if else, but that
is already pretty much covered by { } I suppose.
For HTML (to mention a different language as an example), there are a lot of
multicharacter paired elements, and that plugin (by Dan Sharp) does support
matchit.
