Good to know how to avoid ".*" regexp problems.
(defun rcd-highlight-list (list)
"Uses LIST to highlight strings in buffer."
(hi-lock-mode)
(let* ((list (delete "" list))
(highlights hi-lock-face-defaults))
(while list
(highlight-regexp (regexp-quote (pop list)) (pop highlights)))))
(rcd-highlight-list '("regexp-quote" ".*")) ⇒ it works well!
