Hello.

Is there an important reason to overload M-x highlight-changes-mode
for toggling between active and passive mode? Would it be
inconvenient to make that a separate command, so that M-x
highlight-changes-mode could follow the conventions for minor modes?
After a while I made some changes to do that, and RMS accepted them
on 14 Dec.
I only just realized that they didn't make it to the official 22.1
release.
One reason might be that I had coupled with it a change to easy-
mmode.el because I was loathe to have disabling global highlight
changes mode disable highlight changes in existing buffers. When
testing the old patch I found there was problems with it when it when
it was byte-compiled.
So, I have simplified the change to hilit-chg.el and have removed
the part that required the change to easy-mmode. (I think what I was
previously doing was overkill anyway.)
I will attach here this new patch (against 22.1).
(I have an archive of the mail messages on the thread if this is of
interest, but it deals a lot with the change that I have removed.)
Note: I have not addressed the problem mentioned by Stefan and
Martin, since it seems as if they have already handled it.
