There are precedents all over the place, but that doesn't mean it is good 
thing.  How would one know what to use?  Should I use the second one because

Fast Vector Highlighter.  Does anyone ever want a slow vector highlighter?  
What distinguishes it from the other highlighter? (b/c there are tradeoffs)
