That is a nice feature.  Let's install it.

I am not convinced we should use the same face for trailing spaces
and other things.  And I am not convinced we want subdued colors for
this highlighting.

    I don't agree about that. It lets you know right away what you've done. For
    example, perhaps you changed buffers, so the previous search string is no
    longer pertinent. The slight color change is enough to signal what's
    happening,

I agree with you.
