Interesting suggestion there.

This makes me think that there is no need for multiple
`hi-lock-read-regexp-defaults-function' and a separate
`occur-read-regexp-defaults-function' etc.  But a single
`read-regexp-defaults-function' that cases on `this-command'.

The function can return a symbol token like `t' for `this-command's
which it doesn't want to meddle with but return nil or a regexp or list
of regexps for commands it wants to insinuate.

Is there any problem with this `read-regexp-defaults-function' approach?
