Comment(by deryni):

 That sort of completion is anything but simple. Do you complete the
 matching item immediately? If so, do you move the insertion point back
 into the enclosed area? Do you only close it later? If so, when? What
 happens if you already have a {} pair, delete the { and then re-type it?
 Do you re-pair it automatically or not? Does your decision depend on
 whether the } is the next character? etc.

 The text replacement plugin could likely be made to "complete" the paired
 character but it would likely be much more annoying than not having it do
 that.
