shouldn't a simple parenthesis counter suffice? you have to count parens in many cases anyway (e.g. to find function bodies). I think it would suffice (with some care to ignore parens in comments and strings, and assuming there aren't any mismatches), but counting is not something you can do in a regexp.

no, but adding a single integer register to the scanning loop isn't that much work.
