I tried that, and it didn`t work.

I have made it so that by default, the variable is read from the
buffer.  So either way, it is being set before it`s needed, unless you
customise it differently.

That also has the advantage that when its value changes, it can  be
re-read from the buffer.

I think I`ll give it a try to add this to hi-lock-mode --- it would make
sense to have it as part of it ...
