For the sake of improving electric-pair-mode, can you explain exactly
when/under what conditions it is a bother?

I'm asking because that's precisely what electric-pair-mode attempts: It
*doesn't* insert a closing delimiter "each time", only when it guesses
that it will not bother you.  If it is mis-guessing some situation I
would very much like to know about it.
