<DOUBLE-CLICK>(ArrayList) will cause ArrayList to get selected. (<DOUBLE-CLICK>ArrayList) will also cause ArrayList to get selected. this means that: (<DOUBLE_CLICK>(ArrayList)aList).size() is *ambiguous*. Should it match to the parenthesis on the left or right of the double-click? Also: (Foo)<DOUBLE_CLICK>(Bar) is ambiguous. I think that the ambiguous cases should be recognized, and the ties broken by choosing the outer-most emcompsasing brace/paren. Thus: (<DOUBLE_CLICK>(ArrayList)aList).size() would cause "(ArrayList)aList" to get selected. BTW, the same ambiguity can be applied to the highlight rectangle.
