perhaps for a duration value D:
 -   (not D) => omit highlighting
 - (zerop D) => keep highlighted until user input
 -   (< 0 D) => highlight for D seconds then unhighlight
 -   (> 0 D) => like (zerop D) but wait -D seconds before starting

i personally would set D to be -2 (or thereabouts) under this scheme.
this way, stepping quickly through the hits would result in no visual
distraction whatsoever, while pausing would clearly show the hit w/o
danger of accidentally missing it (due to some other non-emacs-related
distraction ;-), as possible w/ (< 0 D).

we could get real fancy and define all keystrokes like they do on
(musical synthesizer) keyboards: attack, decay, hold, release; but
that wouldn't work on console, oh well...
