So typing "<cj" lands as "<cj>", and expanding the "<cj" key strands the ">" after the snippet. The cj-comment block came out with a "#+end_src>" close fence, which breaks the cj-scan fence parser and made every respond-to-cj-comments pass hand-parse around it. I set electric-pair-inhibit-predicate globally to inhibit the open angle bracket and defer to the default for every other character. That keeps the "<"-prefixed snippet convention intact across all 14 of them, at the cost of "<>" auto-pairing where it might otherwise be wanted (C++ templates). The snippet convention is universal, so it wins. Surfaced from the smoke project, which kept hitting the malformed fence in its todo.org.
