(sorry, further hijacking this thread)
Eric: I made a slight improvement to your code (see the =setq e=) so that
the empty space at the end of the line gets highlighted as in the default
behavior instead of only highlighting the part of the line that contains
text:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun esf/get-visual-line-range ()
(let (b e)
(save-excursion
(beginning-of-visual-line)
(setq b (point))
(end-of-visual-line)
(setq e (+ 1 (point)))
)
(cons b e)))
#+end_src
