Yes, and with that change the autocommand is useful when matchit is
installed: it sets up a FileType autocommand after all those installed
by ftplugin.vim, plugins, etc., so that when, for a certain filetype,
the ftplugin doesn't know about matchit, the % key behaviour falls back
to the default (as defined by the 'matchpairs' option), but still
"enhanced" by matchit to avoid jumping between, let's say, ( in code and
) in a comment.

Best regards,
Tony.
