I get:

global-highlight-changes is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
`hilit-chg'.
(global-highlight-changes &optional ARG)

Turn on or off global Highlight Changes mode.

When called interactively:
- if no prefix, toggle global Highlight Changes mode on or off
- if called with a positive prefix (or just C-u) turn it on in active mode
- if called with a zero prefix  turn it on in passive mode
- if called with a negative prefix turn it off

When called from a program:
- if ARG is nil or omitted, turn it off
- if ARG is `active', turn it on in active mode
- if ARG is `passive', turn it on in passive mode
- otherwise just turn it on

When global Highlight Changes mode is enabled, Highlight Changes mode is
turned
on for future "suitable" buffers (and for "suitable" existing buffers if
variable `highlight-changes-global-changes-existing-buffers' is non-nil).
"Suitability" is determined by variable `highlight-changes-global-modes'.

So it should work I think?
