Description : highlight specified sets of characters, including whitespace
This library provides commands and non-interactive functions for
highlighting the following:
* Tab chars
* Hard space (aka no-break space, aka non-breaking space) chars
* Hard hyphen (aka non-breaking hyphen) chars
* Trailing whitespace: tabs, spaces, and hard spaces at the end of
a line of text
* Any set of chars. One can specify characters in four ways:
(1) individually, (2) using ranges, (3) using character classes
(e.g. [:digit:]), and (4) using character sets
(e.g. `iso-8859-1' or `lao').
One can also specify characters that are excluded from highlighting.

I have upgraded the severity from wishlight to minor, because this
package provides functionality that is being dropped from
emacs-goodies-el (see Bug #590994). When packaging
highlight-chars-el, please take care to use dh-elpa.
Regards,
Nicholas
