VS 2010 Javascript Matching Brace/Bracket Highlighting

Recently I upgraded to Visual Studio 2010 in the hope that it would provide matching bracket hightlighting for Javascript as it does for C#.

On the project I am working on I am doing more Javascript than C# and I finding the lack of bracket matching quite painful.

Is there any method of turning on this feature for Javascript too?

EDIT December 2015: Right now I am using Viasfora extension which does rainbow braces like vim, emacs. Each bracket pair has is successively given a different color, so you dont have to put the caret next to a bracket. Using it in vs 2013.

Microsoft has released JScript Editor Extensions for this. It also has support for intellisense comments. This works great when referencing in th jQuery vsdoc.

JSEnhancements

This extension provides outlining and matching braces highlighting features for Visual Studio JavaScript and CSS editor.

Works both in JS/CSS files and HTML script/style blocks.

Outlining is like in C# editor. It outlines {}'s, []'s and #region tags
