> I believe that history suggests that a better approach is "fontify everything and provide a setting that gives most of them the same appearance", assuming that the combination of tree-sitter and fontification is performant enough.

I think toggling on/off is easier for the users to understand and configure.

You mean “transiently highlight all variable names”? What would be a use-case of that? I’m only aware of “highlight all appearance of _this_ variable”, which is provided by IDEs and LSP.

> I couldn't tell you offhand if the current tree-sitter performance for fontification is strong enough for this sort of thing or not, and I suspect the noverlay branch also has some impact here.

Tree-sitter is pretty fast and we don’t need to worry about “too-much fontification”.
