After #777 another proposal is
ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[cursor-containing-brackets], a dynamic style likecursor-matchingbracket, which changes with the context of the cursor.I left it unstyled by default in the PR. If enabled as

No tests yet, just starting a discussion. I personally find this highlighting extremely valuable. Multiple levels could also be highlighted, like
bracket-level-N.
