Also in HC 2.x, you can change the font of the selected text to a
custom "inverted" font that just looks like hilited text.  An example
of this can be found in the truly neato Regions Package available on
Sumex and elsewhere.

This is still, of course, a slight kludge.  Is there any hope that
"the texthilite" might become a standard HC property?  This would be
really helpful in this and other cases I can think of.
