FTR, nobody asked to shut up or anything like that.
You said I gave up too early, I said that after so much time
arguing with you and others I wouldn't say that it is "early".

I simple have no more arguments to give you or anything new
to contribute. I've made at least 3 different proposals here. You
objected to all of them: I simply have nothing else to contribute.

Thank you very much for your time and energy throughout this
discussion, Eli. I have been in many many discussions with
fruitful outcomes, here and elsewhere, some of them including
you. This wasn't one of them. That's just the way it is, sometimes.
You will, however, understand that I dispense with such unneeded
paternalism.

My proposal was only to control highlighting for a new style, 'flex'
which I believe you don't use.  So I don't think "reversion" is an
adequate characterization. (I did indeed propose that earlier, but
I gave it up after you tried it and told me you didn't like it).

> I don't care how other flex systems out there work.

That's a bad call.  But 100% your prerrogative.
