Miminally, there should be an option to have cursorline (and cursorcolumn) override syntax highlighting or visa versa. Making a statement that it would break the line up is a rather narrow viewpoint; supposing a stark background color choice for cursorline / cursorcolumn.
I have my cursorline and cursorcolumn set to be very subtly different than the normal background (my normal background is off-white, the columns are slightly darker; enough to see if I want to notice it, but not distracting). What *is* distracting/annoing is the cursorline / cursorcolumn wiping out syntax highlighting using a background color, and hlsearch highlighting. Now maybe this is moot, and has been addressed in a recent version; I'm stuck with using 7.4 (but would push to get a newer version if this has been addressed).
