Stupid one, but can’t figure it out on my own – how do I get the next sexp? Just like preceding-sexp, but forward.

    Look into forward-sexp. You have a nice example here.

    OK, as per your comment, you don’t want just movement, but evaluating the sexp itself. What Sacha did there is this:

        (setq start (point))
        (forward-sexp)
        (setq sexp (buffer-substring (point) start))
    

    and then (eval (read sexp)) to eval it. I’ll use buffer-substring-no-properties, but I’m not sure if this matters in a temporary buffer.
