Everyone likes to have their preferences as the default.  This is not a 
useful line of discussion for the project.  Once the options are 
configurable, it shouldn't be an issue.

Please move this idea into a separate patch and propose it.  The 
selection highlight width works well at all zoom levels for me but if 
this idea helps some people without negatively impacting the current 
situation, there should be no issues.  Please keep this distinct from 
the options patch, however.

Those options make sense to me.
