Which is to say: highlighting the region automatically would be controversial, because I imagine it immediately wouldn't work with the navigation commands, and such a thing could be trivially built if highlighting arbitrary strings were supported. Given the lack of support for merging the latter, special-case handling of the former is not likely to be merged.

Thank you for the explanation, I understand now. But this feature is useful for me, if it can't be merged upstream, I might consider continuing to maintain it in my fork.

Actually, I've already implemented this feature. I just wanted to know if this functionality would be accepted by upstream (for example, by setting an option to allow this behavior).
If possible, I'd be happy to submit my code.

I expect that would be out of scope for symbol-overlay
, because it only ever highlights full symbols. IIRC, changes to highlight arbitrary strings have been declined in the past.
