cue.highlight

Draws attention to what it wraps: rings push out of the mark's own edge and fade as they grow, twice, in the mark's own colour — the same gesture the interface uses to ring a focused field. Presence is untouched, so it can sit inside a cue or a cue.draw and ring content that cue has already brought in.
