To find non-ascii characters in a file, I have defined the following:

    syntax match nonascii "[^\x00-\x7F]"
    highlight nonascii ctermbg=13

I can disable this with the command:

    syntax off

I would like to create a command that toggles this highlight group on/off
and
hopefully do so without affecting the current state of the remainder of the
syntax highlight groups.  I have not found a way to test the state of this
group, and once activated, I cannot seem to clear or edit the highlight
definition non-destructively.

Any pointers?

[P.S.:  I originally sent this to <v...@vim.org> which is the address listed
on the official Vim mailing list page, but it never showed up.  Is that
still
valid, or must vim_use@googlegroups.com now be used?]
