Note that if you are using SLIME, C-c C-] will close all parentheses
still open at point -- though as with the above method, it's good to
take a look and make sure that's really what you want.
Historically, several lisps have provided ']' to mean `close all
currently open parens' as well, as in
(defun foo (x) (progn (foo) (bar]
but as more lisps (R6RS, clojure, several older schemes) provide [ ] as
a separate syntactic form or as an equivalent to ( ), this is not really
an option any more.
