I believe, this change is almost unopinionated, but just makes the things better :)
The Problem
When for MatchParen fg=syntax_bg, then block-shaped cursor becomes colored with bg_color, and
becomes invisible. This makes "another" paren much more accented than "this" paren.
Fix
To fix this, I just swap bg and fg for MatchParen, which as for me, solves the problem.
After watching the demo I've realized, the old variant looks better when the cursor is blinking.
For other cursor shapes (horizontal line, vertical line, non-blinking block) new version looks and feels a way better.
