It is "different", and majorly buggy.

There is a certain logistical problem; maybe somebody can help me?
The way it is done now, one has essentially one set of highlight
rules.  So either highlight of pre-5.10 is wrong, or of 5.10 is wrong.

Given that (AFAIK) 5.10 is now too buggy to be usable, I hesitate to
make the change for 5.10-highlight.  If there a way to make "flavors"
of highlights (as in "minor mode" over "major mode") conveniently -
and without a non-necessary slow-down?

Thanks,
Ilya
