    highlight-changes-mode in mode-line-mode-menu doesn't toggle on the mode-line
    because it has three values:

      With an argument ARG:
	If ARG is positive, set state to active;
	If ARG is zero, set state to passive;
	If ARG is negative, disable Highlight Changes mode completely.

I think we should change the interface, because it is really bad for a
minor mode to be inconsistent with the standard for minor modes.
