I too think that this would be more appropriate.  Something like
the following should do the job:

*** /home/micha/software/emacs/lisp/hi-lock.el	2013-10-26 18:26:42.117620602 +0200
--- /home/micha/today/hi-lock.el	2013-12-11 02:31:03.251432385 +0100
***************
*** 448,454 ****
    (hi-lock-set-pattern
     ;; The \\(?:...\\) grouping construct ensures that a leading ^, +, * or ?
     ;; or a trailing $ in REGEXP will be interpreted correctly.
!    (concat "^.*\\(?:" regexp "\\).*$") face))

  ;;;###autoload

     ;; or a trailing $ in REGEXP will be interpreted correctly.
!    (concat "^.*\\(?:" regexp "\\).*\\($\\)\n?") face))

  ;;;###autoload

Can we use this?
