Enhancement: browse single characters, e.g. operators, identical and resp. counterpart

[GoogleCodeExporter]

How about adding support for browsing single characters? 
Especially the ability to navigate among operators and quote characters like: 
', ", (, ), [, ], {, } would be very helpful.

Additional: when navigating among braces and compounds like (, ), {, } it would 
be helpful to be able to jump not only to occurrences of that same character, 
but also to the corresponding counterpart character.

Thanks for the input.

I've been thinking about a good and simple solution but I'm still unsure if 
there is a straightforward way to offer this (and still remain simple in use). 
What about this situations:

   public void foo(String bar);

BrowseWordAtCaret at left of the opening brace starts navigating for "foo". At 
right of it starts with "String". 

Ok, one possible solution would be that the user needs to select the character 
and then do a navigation. So this kind of navigation would only work with 
selection. :-/

So I'm uncertain to take action on this issue and to leave BrowseWordAtCaret 
word based only.

Any feedback is welcome.
