I'm sorry for the late reply.
Daniel's colored matching brackets code was what I originally thought of, but there is a possibly quicker way to check for matching brackets, which I use quite often: Put your cursor in the midst of a nasty bit of code, and press (at least on linux) the combination of Ctrl-Shift-B one or more times. The highlight should expand to successively more general levels of the expressions -- this is often useful to me to see where a function argument ends, and so forth.
Best wishes,
C.O.
