Description
In mutli-nested code where there are several begin/end pairs, one gets lost figuring out which end belongs to which begin.

In delphi the delphi IDE, you have syntax highlighting for matching up Paren's and in C++ you match up the curly braces. It seems to me that the Highlighting of the 'other' begin or end when your cursor is on a begin or end has been a long time coming...

Steps to Reproduce:
It's nice that typing a begin now automatically generates a end for you but, as soon as that end is put in, I immediately add a remark after the end and put in a comment to WHICH end this belongs to.
Workarounds
Put in your own comments to keep track of the begin/end pairs.

A suite of programs and IDE enhancements, that will do what you request and then some is: cnPack.
