Thanks!  Indeed, I looked at the NEWS for Emacs 28, but I think I wouldn't 
have find it in the NEWS for Emacs 27.  Indeed I "really" need that, or at 
least that's what I'm used to: I use (show-paren-mode) with (setq 
show-paren-style 'expression), and during the last twenty years or so it 
has implicitly used ":extend t".
