Notably, the 'single-hyphen-option' and 'assign' contexts both default to the 'none' style, so before this patch, the tests would not have detected a failure to apply those two contexts. For other contexts, using $unused_highlight only helps detect the case where the right highlight style (e.g., 'fg=yellow') is used as a result of applying the wrong context — which should be a theoretical failure mode. This is part of zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting#198.

FAQ
Why must zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh be sourced at the end of the .zshrc file?
zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh wraps ZLE widgets. It must be sourced after all
custom widgets have been created (i.e., after all zle -N calls).
How to tweak
Syntax highlighting is done by pluggable highlighter scripts, see the highlighters directory for documentation and configuration settings.
