Not this specific feature.

It depends.  If I were to implement it, I would create a set of
highlight marks associated with the buffer.  These marks would act as
a type of overlay buffer and would be created/deleted via interpreter
functions.  After the initial screen update (before calling
SLsmg_refresh), the marks would be scanned and the screen updated
accordingly.

My current priority is to add automatic display wrapping of long
lines.  I have not had much time recently to devote to this since most
of my time (as much as 12 hours/day, including weekends) is spent on
my real job (This is also the driver for the recent fortran 90 updates
to jed).

Of course, I do accept patches.
Thanks,
