Hi! Markus Elfring

This feature is a side effect of missing right '")' detection, so I think
it is acceptable to add it.

But I agree with you, this patch is a little big, I don't want to add more
code into it.

Joe, what is your opinion? Do you think this version is good enough to merge?

Thanks!
