;;; Commentary:

;; Provides a global minor mode (toggled by M-x 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 or relying on `blink-cursor-mode' The
;; hookery involved here might slow Emacs noticeably on a slow
;; machine.

;; 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.
