" HiCursorWords -- Highlights words under the cursor.
"
" Maintainer: Shuhei Kubota <kubota.shuhei+vim@gmail.com>
" Description:
"   This script highlights words under the cursor like many IDEs.
"
"   This doesn't provide scope-aware highlighting nor language specific one.
"   You can control highlighting by highlighting group names.
"
" Variables:
"
"   (A right hand side value is a default value.)
"
"   g:HiCursorWords_delay = 200
"       A delay for highlighting in milliseconds.
"       Smaller value may cause your machine slow down.
"
"   g:HiCursorWords_hiGroupRegexp = ''
"       If empty, all words are highlighted.
"       If not empty, only the specified highlight group is highlighted.
"       (my memo: 'Identifier\|vimOperParen')
"
"       To investigate highlight group name, the next variable may help you.
"
"   g:HiCursorWords_debugEchoHiName = 0
"       If not 0, echoes the highlight group name under the cursor.
"
" Hightlight groups:
"
"   (Do :highlight! as you like.)
"
"   WordUnderTheCursor
"
