[Openmcl-devel] Why doesn't this work?

[Ron Garret]

It seems like doing this:

(setf (hi::character-attribute :lisp-syntax #\[) :open-paren)
(setf (hi::character-attribute :lisp-syntax #\]) :close-paren)

should make the editor treat square brackets like parens (i.e. allow square-bracket-delimited lists to be syntax highlighted and selected like regular parens) but it doesn't work.  Anyone know why, or how to make this work?

Thanks,
