I now wonder if it should not be enabled as default. For that, maybe the highlight should be styled a bit (e.g. lighter colors) to do not perturb the user when not really needed but still easy to see. Another idea would be to show it only if you press a key while mouse over (e.g shift).

I opened an issue

18901 Highlight message send selector on mouse over

with an experimental implementation.

Just load the slice, enable the setting:
RubAbstractTextArea highlightMessageSend: true.

Now open a code editor (nautilus/MessageBrowser) and
move the mouse over a message send.

Or evaluate this code, it opens a text editor on a method, where it is difficult
to see which part of the code belongs to which method:

evaluate:
TextModel new beForCode; aboutToStyle:true;behavior: MorphTreeMorph;text:(MorphTreeMorph>>#drawLinesOn:) sourceCode;openWithSpec.

feedback welcome.
