Either of these would work for me. The behavior when the user clicks on a
semiHilited "master" checkbox should be to set it and all of its
subordinates to hilited. A second click should unhilited the master and
all of the subordinates. Further clicks continue to toggle all the
checkboxes. The only way to get the semiHilited state of the master is to
toggle one or more of the subordinates so there is again disagreement
among the subordinates.
