This can be extended by allowing regular expressions to match sets of
commands, or cons-cells to configure additional details (color,
duration, multiple pulses, ...) for specific case.

In any case, I don't want to object, especially if others find the
package useful.  I just wanted to be sure that the alternative was
mentioned.

Unless anyone objects, there shouldn't be any problem if you push your
patch to elpa.git.

I don't even think this is necessary.  IMO there is nothing wrong with
having a package on ELPA that extends or improves on a core feature.
