My entire computer is practically black on black, via monitor brightness and 
xgamma. Selection color is the brightest color in nano so I can see the 
boundaries when only a couple characters are highlighted. But its bright 
background blinds me, making it impossible to read the selected text.

s/should/could/ -- Using hilite_attribute is easier than selecting a good 
default. It doesn't matter anyway, the broken patch was pushed to git before I 
wasted time writing my reply. Thanks for that Benno!
