Hmm, that's confusing.  Suppose a script isolates a word that it wants
to highlight.  Then it's easy to locate the start of the word and the
length with various methods, e.g. using getline(), match() and
matchend().  Then you have the position and size in bytes, not
characters or screen characters.  So let's stick to that.

In the implementation it should be easy to round up, so as to include
the screen cell that contains a highlighted byte.
