I have a local fix that displays Hi in the mode line only when the
list of regexps to highlight is not empty in the current buffer.
This means it is displayed only when hi-lock has something to highlight.
Do you think it would be useful to use this logic by default in
hi-lock.el?
As a user,
It seems that much of Emacs follows a convention for naming global
minor modes vs buffer local minor modes that hi-lock-mode does not
follow. The convention is for buffer local minor modes to be named
minor-mode-name and for global minor modes to be named
global-minor-mode-name.

This bit me because I don't like having the H for hi-lock-mode

to my init file. This just broke.
I don't like having the H displayed in the mode line for no reason too.
