there was always some filetypes which would create an annoying exception and
thus at the end the code became so filetype specific that at the end I had
to give up the idea.

I found the case while testing (() this is perfectly legal. Now if we delete
the 2nd open brace the closing brace should not be deleted, so the deletion
is only applicable when the ) is just added . I think selective removal will
create a lot of confusion to the end users so removed the code for this also
:(

My first attempt went in vain :( . Searching for other bugs to debug.

Thanks
