One thing that has frustrated me greatly is that Copilot cannot balance parentheses et al, even when using VSCode + the official plugin, which is the golden standard. Since I program in Clojure for work, this is maddening as you have to these fix missing or extra char pairs. Almost all lisp editors run into issues once in this unbalanced state.
Thankfully, the brokenness follows a pattern where I think it is only the suffix portion that is mismatched, meaning it can be algorithmically fixed. I attempt to do so here.
There are other two changes:
clojureas that is the only official language ID.save-excursionis in the outer loop andsave-restrictionis inside, as recommended by the docs. I also eliminated multiple calls as a micro-optimization.
