Indeed. Eclipse JSDT, for example, has had all of that for a while now
(vertical indent guides come with LiClipse [1]). But I recently discovered
the very useful “%” input in Vim; with the “matchit” add-on, it even works
with start and end tags.
But ISTM that John still has not realized that I did _not_ recommend to
write *all* opening braces of functions on the same line as the “function”
keyword, but only those of function *expressions*; and that indentation does
not enter into it (you can and should indent the function body with either
form). It is because, as is obvious from the above, he has not realized yet
that there are (at least) two ways to “define” a function in ECMAScript, of
which one includes a *declaration*.
