balanced expressions to suit that language.  Balanced expressions

effect of @kbd{C-M-t} with a positive argument).  An argument of zero,
rather than doing nothing, transposes the balanced expressions ending

@kindex C-M-@@
@findex mark-sexp
  To set the region around the next balanced expression in the buffer,
use @kbd{C-M-@@} (@code{mark-sexp}), which sets mark at the same place
that @kbd{C-M-f} would move to.  @kbd{C-M-@@} takes arguments like
@kbd{C-M-f}.  In particular, a negative argument is useful for putting
the mark at the beginning of the previous balanced expression.

  In languages that use infix operators, such as C, it is not possible
to recognize all balanced expressions as such because there can be
multiple possibilities at a given position.  For example, C mode does
not treat @samp{foo + bar} as a single expression, even though it
