Yep. Typing "("-"<backspace>" needs to delete both the typed and auto-inserted parens. Similarly, typing "["-"("-"<backspace>"-"<backspace>" needs to delete the two typed and the two inserted chars.

To get it Right™, we do need a stack, IMHO.

Morphic-cmm.760 still ignores what the user typed. It *explicitly* ignores it. If I have "bar)))))" and want to type another ")" after the "r", it does not let me. And that's not Right™ :)
