Yes.

I'll pass judgment on aesthetics.
It doesn't make the "first-difference" less legible IMO, and it does
make the "common-part" easier to find, which are my main criteria, so it
does look good in this sense. I'm not trying to find a perfect
solution, just an incremental improvement.

Yes.

I'd rather postpone this decision to later.

While highlighting the "common-part" is definitely standard, there's
definitely not a standard *way* to highlight it. While a background
color is used in some cases I have the vague impression that it might be
a minority rather than a majority of cases.

For flex's "foo matched to frobot" it highlights the "f" the "o"s in
blue3 and the "t" in bold.

But I'd also rather postpone this decision to later.
