That'd drive me nuts.  I don't even like my last search results (ie.,
/sometext) being highlit everywhere automagically -between instantiations-.
It's handy in the same instance, but it's idiotic to save it between
instances.  I search on something I know won't be there to get rid of it.

Minimalist, but enough to help you out.  The B&W highlighting on non-colour
terminals works as well.  Anything to show unbalanced syntax is a plus.  My
once annoyance with syntax highlighting is that it doesn't consider
${varname} to be a variable and highlight it appropriately.  If you remove
the {}s it does, but I -really- prefer an explicit style.
