I might not be understanding this correctly.... But based on the below
code, wouldn't we first need to do (require 'hi-lock) for the C-x w
bindings to work?

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/hi-lock.el?h=emacs-25

Coincidentally, currently a parallel discussion is going on in another
emacs-devel thread if we should remove the C-x w prefix map associated to
hi-lock. Please check out that thread for the reasoning behind it.
