You've solved your problem, but there's also this
tip/plugin which seems to do something similar.
Tim,
I finally got to the point in my project where I could tryout
your code. In one sense your code was similar to some of
my attempts at using the match/highlight capability but
I 1) did not order the column/line correctly and, more
importantly, 2) I did not have a trailing '.' in the
match

Seems that match only works on a single pattern at a time.

You could try generating a random name for each block? or base it off
Andy,
Have you tried your suggestion? If it works, could you
share your code?

Use matchadd() instead.

Hopefully made easier by

:exec highlight! Foo33 ctermbg=green guibg=green
:call matchadd(Foo33, '\%8c\%21c\%5l\%14l.')
:call matchadd(Foo33, '\%2c\%11c\%3l\%6l.')
:exec highlight! Foo34 ctermbg=white guibg=white
:call matchadd(Foo34, '\%18c\%31c\%5l\%14l.')

I'd like to highlight an arbitrary block of text even when
normal syntax-base highlighting is in effect.
Now, one can highlight a block of height 1 using matching:
:hi Green ctermbg=Green
:match Green /\%10l\%30c.*\%40c\%10l/
:match none
But what I'd like to do is for a block with height
greater
