That's right.  I'll make sure to add a NEWS entry and fix those typos in
the next iteration of the patch.

That was just to avoid repeating a piece of code at several places.  It
makes no difference with the default ‘lazy-highlight-interval’ of 0,
right?  But it might actually be better to make
‘lazy-highlight-delay-max-chars’ to affect only
‘lazy-highlight-initial-delay’ and not ‘lazy-highlight-interval’.  What
do you think?

Best,
