I'm sending the same uplifted, bugs and not-nice things fixed (zpty
-n, Zle-echoing-back, etc. ) test file X04zlehighlight as in my answer
where I've elaborated on zle -T and enumerated codes being removed
like "^[[?2004h" (X-seq: 43811), but with:

      zpty -w zsh 'zle_highlight=( fg_start_code:"CDE|"
fg_end_code:"|" bg_start_code:"BCDE|" bg_end_code:"|" )'

I adapted the visible-codes by readability on the terminal, example
new-code and it's previous form:

-0m38;2;4;8;16mtrue39m
+0mCDE|8;2;4;8;16|trueCDE|9|

(I've accepted this and other changes into the test, they're correct
with the zle_highlight contents).

And a bug appeared – every test works, instead of the two near-color
tests. The reported differences:

-0mCDE|8;5;232|trueCDE|9|
+0m38;5;232mtrueCDE|9|
(...)
Was testing: basic region_highlight with near-color (hex-triplets at input)

-0mCDE|8;5;40|tCDE|8;5;160|rCDE|9|CDE|8;5;40|ueCDE|9|
+0m38;5;40mt38;5;160mrCDE|9|38;5;40mueCDE|9|
Was testing: overlapping region_highlight with near-color
(hex-triplets at input)

The minus-lines are hand-crafted by me, holding the expected contents
after zle_highlight was customized.
