Highlight is useful for whatever is useful for a user who enables the feature.
Multiselection is not a topic here yet, given that my wording was "with a
limitation of only simple case"; for simple case, there will be no more
"different highlighted areas" than with current implementation - only size of
the areas will be different.

This is completely irrelevant. Please avoid such a bad thing as "let's not do
something that some person can easily do, just because I thikk there is also
another possible related improvement, not necessarily as easy or suitable for
the person who implemented *this* feature".
