My point is that the highlight is there now; some people don't like it,
some people want a different duration -- we can achieve that easily
with a new variable to tune the existing feature.
I don't think the existing feature shall go away in future releases,
but we may add different methods of highlighting, e.g. a new
compilation-highlight-method variable, and we may add extended
values for -duration (such as sticky overlay or whatever).
Also the underlaying implementation may change.
But in every case, the -duration variable in the proposed form will be
(I believe) upwards compatible with such future extensions.
Otherwise, I would not have suggested it.
