Yes, I changed that.

The highlighting is occasionally distracting when the highlighted form
needs to be edited.  

Also, at some point we have to remove the highlighting.  Previously the
next v command or quitting from the debugger removed the overlays.  With
temporary highlighting that problem is solved nicely, because the timer
does that.

I can restore the old behavior if you feel strong about it.

Helmut.
