That example shows the benefit of using a text editor that is designed
for writing code.  Or at least how much time you can spend when you
don't have the bracket matching capability.

As many have mentioned over the years, using ESS with Emacs does that
in additiona to having many other useful extra capabilities, not many
will be imagined until they're seen.  Many people use Tinn-R which has
some of the same capability.
