Not exactly true. The highlighter is interlaced with many other internal
components. It's not implssible to take this out, but ti's a great del of
work, and not trivial. I started doing this a few months ago, but decided to
stop as I noticed that Leonardo is still hacking inside Nokia on the
official version. Making a fork is smart only after the official version is
stable.
