(eshell-modify-global-environment): Added this customization variable, which will cause any "export" commands within any eshell buffer to modify the global Emacs environment. It defaults to nil, which means that such commands will only modify that Eshell buffer's environment. (eshell-var-initialize): Initialize `eshell-modify-global-environment'.

;;; Commentary:

;; Provides a minor mode (toggled by M-x hl-line-mode) and a global minor
;; mode (toggled by M-x global-hl-line-mode) to highlight, on a
;; suitable terminal, the line in the current window on which point is
;; (except in a minibuffer window).  Done to satisfy a request for a
;; feature of Lesser Editors.

;; You probably don't really want this; if the cursor is difficult to
;; spot, try changing its colour, relying on `blink-cursor-mode' or
;; both.  The hookery used might affect response noticeably on a slow
;; machine.  It may be useful in "non-text" buffers such as Gnus or
;; PCL-CVS though.

;; An overlay is used, active only on the selected window.  Hooks are
;; added to `pre-command-hook' and `post-command-hook' to activate and
;; deactivate (by deleting) the overlay.  `hl-line-unhighlight', on
;; `pre-command-hook', deactivates it unconditionally in case the
;; command changes the selected window.  (It does so rather than
;; keeping track of changes in the selected window).
;; `hl-line-highlight', on `post-command-hook', activates it again
;; across the window width.

;; You could make variable `hl-line-mode' buffer-local to avoid
;; highlighting specific buffers, when the global mode is used.
