MATCH-HIGHLIGHT should be of the form:

Where MATCHER can be either the regexp to search for, or the function name to
call to make the search (called with one argument, the limit of the search) and
return non-nil if it succeeds (and set `match-data' appropriately).
MATCHER regexps can be generated via the function `regexp-opt'.  MATCH is the
subexpression of MATCHER to be highlighted.  MATCH can be calculated via the
function `regexp-opt-depth'.  FACENAME is an expression whose value is the face

Where MATCHER is as for MATCH-HIGHLIGHT with one exception; see below.
PRE-MATCH-FORM and POST-MATCH-FORM are evaluated before the first, and after
