1. What did you do?

I've been using the far simpler text matching auto highlight symbol mode in emacs which for go mode more or less matches all strings which are the same.

go-guru-hl-identifier-mode is great because it highlights variable's according to scope scoping but I kind of miss package and function highlighting I had before now:

It's not a really big issue for me but it is quite helpful to have such highlight as well.
