Bracket matching DIFFERS, depending on where the cursor is placed, AND whether
any text follows the Strating bracket on the same line.

To demonstrate this, place the cursor inside a pair of brackets
Place cursor inside a pair of brackets, at various locations.
    inside a bracket pair at the start
    inside a bracket pair at the end
    column 1 AFTER last-on-line opening bracket
then press CTRL+M:

<
   [
   | (
   |   {
   |   | {   text following open bracket
   |   |     < [ ( { oneliners } ) ] >
   |   | }
   |   }
   | )
   ]
>

I think this problem has been reported before, perhaps in less detail.

Curiously, the quote matching does something of the opposite, and no need to
span lines (which it seems incapable of anyway):

" test "
" test
line-spanning quote "
' test '


It is common practice for programmers to place braces, enclosing code blocks, on
separate lines for clarity. Mismatched brackets makes this nifty tool useless.
