Automatic closing of brackets & co

A good feature for Code :: Blocks would be the automatic closing of things like brackets, quotes (single and double), and parenthesis. For example, when a user types if (, C::B would automatically insert the missing ). On top of this, if the feature was made intelligent, then if the user actually inerts the ) himself, then C::B would just overwrite the one it put in itself. For a more concrete example, Eclipse seems to do this very well.

Something similar (and in my opinion more powerfull) is already implemented: Abbreviations (just take a look at the editor settings).

However, if the feature requested here will be implemented it definitely should be configurable because a lot of people (me included) hate this behaviour.
