Re: integrate autobrackets in jEdit

@sigzero, if you can do it so politely sir, then why don't you raise the
feature request from my side. Anyways, i did not call anybody "lame" so I
don't blame myself.

And then there is no support for completion of single and double quotes
also in jEdit - so that raises another question.

And if its "All or notthing" then this can be configured in the optiosn
pane also.

Thanks.
