I do have other work to do.  (Of course, that's hasn't often stopped
me before.  :-P )  At the very least, I'll hold off on htsearch changes
until the breakdown and reorganization of Display.cc is done.  Many of
the 3.1.6 enhancements have been in there.

I think I'll also leave the htsearch "*" handling up to you, because I
think you have a clearer idea than I do as to how best to implement this
in 3.2, and how it'll affect the parser code as it stands or as it will be.
