Shared Highlighters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Highlighters are often defined for a specific filetype, and it makes then sense to
share the highlighters between all the windows on the same filetypes.
A shared highlighter can be defined with
-----------------------
defhl <shared_hl_name>
-----------------------
Highlighters can be added to it using the regular +:addhl+ command, with the
+-def-group <shared_hl_name>+ option.
It can then be referenced in a window using the +ref+ highlighter.
--------------------------
addhl ref <shared_hl_name>
