Unfortunately, this doesn't address my StackOverflow question entirely, nor
does it make it possible to avoid the workaround mentioned.
This patch allows you to update a single highlight group, but it does not allow
you to create a modifier highlight group. In other words, if you have
highlight Italic cterm=italic
highlight Bold cterm+=bold
then even if you match 'Bold' inside 'Italic' you only get the 'Bold'
highlighting, not a combination of the two.
I'd like to add a new highlight type of the form
highlight modifier Bold cterm=bold
which (in this example) would continue highlighting with the previous
matchgroup but *add* the bold terminal attribute.
This feature is a bit more involved than the above patch -- Bram, would you
accept such a feature? I don't want to waste my efforts.
