Hi,

I think you can simply misuse `hl-line-mode' for the highlighting,
e.g. like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(progn
  (require 'thingatpt)
  (setq-default
   hl-line-range-function
   (lambda () (bounds-of-thing-at-point 'word))
   hl-line-face 'trailing-whitespace)
  (global-hl-line-mode))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Combined with word moving commands (M-left, M-right), I think it's
already quite what you want.
