I see. For me, having it marked when it's not needed has always been a
small sacrifice, as long as it's always present when needed (and for my
uses, it practically always is).

I see your point. I've never gotten around to AUCTeX though, so I
assume it's more of a problem there.

Yes, that works. It will still take some time before I'm convinced,
because this is such a habit for me.
