It's not real obvious when you see mismatch highlighting (and are used to it working) that the highlighting might not mean a mismatch at all, but just an insufficiently large option value. Many (most?) users will not even guess that there is such an option. Perhaps we could use a :help-echo property along with the mismatch highlight face, pointing to the option?
