;;; Commentary:
;; Provides a minor mode (toggled by M-x hl-line-mode) and a global minor
;; mode (toggled by M-x global-hl-line-mode) to highlight, on a
;; suitable terminal, the line in the current window on which point is
;; (except in a minibuffer window). Done to satisfy a request for a
;; feature of Lesser Editors.
;; You probably don't really want this; if the cursor is difficult to
;; spot, try changing its colour, relying on `blink-cursor-mode' or
;; both. The hookery used might affect response noticeably on a slow
;; machine. It may be useful in "non-text" buffers such as Gnus or
;; PCL-CVS though.
;; An overlay is used, active only on the selected window. Hooks are
;; added to `pre-command-hook' and `post-command-hook' to activate and
;; deactivate (by deleting) the overlay. `hl-line-unhighlight', on
;; `pre-command-hook', deactivates it unconditionally in case the
;; command changes the selected window. (It does so rather than
;; keeping track of changes in the selected window).
;; `hl-line-highlight', on `post-command-hook', activates it again
;; across the window width.
