It's a great package, but it does something silly: it changes the actual
face on matched regions of the buffer. It should just add overlays. The
code should get simpler, including removing the overlays when you
un-highlight matches, because that's just `(mapcat #'delete-overlay
existing-overlays)`.
Does anyone want to take the challenge and make this package perfect? I'm
willing to volunteer my time to do it, except I have absolutely no idea
what I'm doing, I don't know elisp, I'm a terrible programmer, and I'm
almost guaranteed to just make things worse instead of better.
