That could be very nice, although it feels like a pretty significant
complication. Also, re-builder's interactive updates can sometimes
need a manual C-c C-u (`reb-force-update') if it gets confused (which
I think occasionally happens when the regexp is invalid?), and that
might not be great.
Or did you mean to use the isearch highlighting code, which is perhaps
more forgiving of temporary invalid states?
