I'm on the fence about the text highlighting, on the one hand not doing it
does make it so the text is still easily legible when selected, but on the
other it can be nice to show that it is part of the selected symbol. I
think this would definitely be a case where making it a configurable option
would allow people to experiment and see what they prefer.
