I don't think there is a conflict between this style, and using line 
highlightings: if the style being applied is a foreground color (gray text) as 
opposed to a background color, then it will look the same regardless of whether 
you apply it as a line style, or as a character range style.

Highlighting part of a line is not applicable to inactive preprocessor branches 
in C++.

If we later introduce highlightings for dead expressions or statements, we can 
of course use character ranges and not lines for them.
