Note that the goal of the column/row highlight feature is not *finding* a
focused / selected cell: the real goal os to have an easy way to see the
*context* - i.e., the other cells in the same row and in the same column, like
headers, correspondig record data, and so on. Finding the cell is only a
not-really-important aspect here, with borders and cell highlichting and
row/column header highlighting already serving "find it" goal.

And the "see the related data" is a good reason to implement Roman's proposal;
with a limitation of only simple case - at least initially. Multi-selection
could *possibly* also use it - but that is debatable.
