Some updates to

    C-h K M-s h u

(That will land you in the right node.)

1. Un-Highlight stuff *at point*.  A list is offered only if there is
   nothing already highlighted beneath the point.

2. With a C-u, remove *all* highlights.

A NEWS entry may also be added...

[REGRESSION] Re: trunk r116301: Some hi-lock doc

[Jambunathan K]

Just noticed a regression.

C-x w r is intended to un-highlight stuff at point. BUT there seems to
be a recent regression.  

In `hi-lock--regexps-at-point',

      (unless (memq face-before faces) (setq face-before nil))
      (unless (memq face-after faces) (setq face-after nil))

the above lines imply that face-before and face after are atoms (so to
speak).

Lately, they turn out to be lists.

    M-: (get-text-property (point) 'face) 
    => (hi-yellow font-lock-variable-name-face)
