Eclipse behaviour for parentheses is interesting, it autocompletes ) if the character after the typed ( is not a value or identifier.

So when typing foo( at the cursor |.

if(|xxx) becomes if(foo(|xxx) or if(|1) becomes if(foo(|1)

but

if(|+xxx) becomes if(foo(|)+xxx) or if(|) becomes if(foo(|))

It works fairly well when typing new code and is avoids some (but not all) mistakes during editing, at the expense of having to manually add or delete the closing ) in some cases.

Note this is observed behaviour because it isn't documented, which makes the behaviour just plain annoying until its worked out, which is why I want it documented for Geany, whichever decisions we end up with.
