My earlier mail asked for making the highlighting face a "core" one.  So
having highlight-1, highlight-2 etc as "core" themable faces will make
theme designers pay attention to it.

>From a theming perspective, the sequence 1, 2 etc are not merely opaque
names.  I have argued that they can be look at as "angles" on a "color
wheel".

So if we are looking at triads of colors, we are looking at colors at
positions n * 120 degrees apart on a color wheel.

The colors of highlight faces *should not* be chosen independently.
They should "gel" well with each other.
