digitalmars.D - '<' and '>' are "matching delimiters"?

When exactly are they seen as nesting delimiters?

When they're used in delimited strings. That's the whole point of that 
section. The examples are

q"(foo(xxx))"   // "foo(xxx)"
q"[foo{]"       // "foo{"

but they could have included something like

q"<foo{>"       // "foo{"
