Various posts in this thread essentially propose different blanket approaches,
i.e., paint something with a broad brush. Some want such brushwork in some
contexts; others don't.
What's needed, I think, are (1) a fine-grained mechanism to control which chars
get highlighted and how and where/when, (2) default applications of that
mechanism to specific contexts, and (3) user ability to control things.
No broad brushwork will be satisfactory, I think. I think some form of #1 is
the starting point - without that, I don't see a good solution.
I mentioned my library `highlight-chars.el', which provides support for #1:
ways to highlight any set of chars, and control where/when/whether that's done.
Maybe take a look at what it offers, as food for thought or even perhaps reuse?
