after trying spacemacs and doom i also went back to my own setup, but adopted straight.el (thanks to doom and an ex-doom user). i also try to use use-package. i appreciate the existence of prelude, spacemacs, doom, etc. as they help to show what is possible.

What's a great package for highlighting the current word? e.g. POINT is over foo which is an arg of the defn that I'm touching I should see all foos within that defn, but ideally not outside the defn. Also it should understand well what the word boundaries are, for clojure :)

@vemv https://github.com/wolray/symbol-overlay you can (setq symbol-overlay-scope t) if you only want to highlight in the current function scope
