Not as I _asked_, but as I _stated_ was probably "as good as it gets".  To which
I added, "but I'm open, if someone has a better idea".  I said "I don't know how
to fix that."

Actually, I forgot about that bug thread.  ;-)

This time I'm saying something similar, but the use case is different.  What I
said before is still true, but this report is about the behavior after `M-e', so
the consideration about a buffer change doesn't really apply.

IOW, both observations are relevant, I think.  For this use case (same buffer
where `M-e' was used), it might be good if after editing the matching part were
not highlighted as a mismatch.  Again, dunno whether that would be an easy fix -
I doubt it, but maybe you have an idea.

I have no good idea about this.  Do you?
