No, no, no! By the two line arrow symbol, I meant point somewhere before
":group".

Oh no I don't!

OK. How about showing the paren (and its match) when
(i) point is touching the paren, and is either outside it (current
implementation), or inside it (new feature), with an "outside" taking
prioirty;
(ii) point is in the periphery and there is a paren at an extreme edge
of the core, one at the nearest (to point) edge taking priority (already
implemented)?

I'd kind of guessed that.

OK, then. I'll extract a new defun paren-show--locate-near-paren which
will return a cons (DIR . OLDPOS). I think that will satisfy you.
Shouldn't take long, I'll send you a new patch soon.
