In gui we can define color with :highlight command.
Script can use highlight command to change color, however, if a script
meant to change one color temporarily, it has no knowledge about the
previous setting.
1. the :hi Cursor is defined by my color scheme.
2. now in some case a script change the cursor color to indicate a
special mode.
3. when the mode ends, the script want to change the Cursor back but it
has no knowledge about what is the highlight of Cursor defined by user's
color scheme.
This rises from our script vimim, this implements an IME inside vim and
we may need to change the Cursor color to indicate IM mode and change
the Cursor color back. CursorIM is the best color group for this but we
have no command to let vim show Curor with CursorIM, the only way is to
redefine the :highlight of Cursor and the old settings are lot.
Any work around? Thanks for all.
