Do I need to load another package to get that?   Emacs says "no match"
when I try that command and if I try matching "highlight" I only get the
following completions:

highlight-changes-mode             highlight-changes-next-change
highlight-changes-previous-change  highlight-changes-remove-highlight
highlight-changes-rotate-faces     highlight-compare-with-file
