Doing this does not make the "Box around text"-color in my new face be
the background color of cursor-face.

I have found the package highlight-symbol.el very useful to highlight
the symbol at the cursor.

I am however not quite satisfied with the visual distinguishing of all
the occurrencies of the current symbol.

Therefore I am customizing highlight-symbol-face in the package
highlight-symbol.el in the way described above.
