paxedit-previous-symbol should stop when a symbol has an opening paren to the left

Currently, paxedit skips over such symbol.

Hi tuhdo,

This function was previously an undocumented feature of Paxedit so it might be unclear how it was intended to work. The function is working as designed. I've created a new release v1.1.6 which adds documentation to both paxedit-previous-symbol and paxedit-next-symbol which explains exactly how these functions are intended to work.

Here's the documentation for paxedit-previous-symbol:

Go to the previous symbol regardless of what may seperate the
symbols. Will move to previous symbol regardless if the previous
symbol is at a different depth.

e.g.
 (print (*-!- 123 456))

-> paxedit-previous-symbol

 (print-!- (* 123 456))
