Anyone has an idea why highlight-regexp does not work in the cider REPL buffer?
odd, never noticed that, but seems to be true here as well.
I have some custom code around hi-lock, so my setup is not a good baseline.
But, I'd hazard a guess it's because things in that things in that buffer are already aggressively font-locked?
I filled a CIDER bug https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/issues/3852. Will see where it takes us.
