Subject: 30.0.50; Add highlight line-or-region command to pulse.el

severity: wishlist

My suggestion is to add a new command (i.e. an interactive function) to
pulse.el to highlight the current line or region.  The basic functions
already exist, but no command is provided.  This command is useful, for
example, in videos, demos or pair-programming sessions where the user
wish to highlight the current line or region for the audience.

Although pulse.el is part of CEDET, it provides general-purpose
functions not coupled to CEDET.

Example: apply patch and bind the new command to F1 key

(keymap-set global-map
            "<f1>"
            #'pulse-momentary-highlight-line-or-region)
