Huh, indeed you are correct. Hard to believe I never ran across this
before. Nested brace blocks are handled correctly and I mistakenly
thought the processing of fence-pairs was handled "specially" in
cppmode to account for things like this. I figure for 99% of use cases
the traditional vi behavior is useless.

When vim is in 'nocompatible mode' it does what's expected. I'm
assuming vile doesn't have an option to enable this behavior.
