{script_name} lets you set up a regex for things to never highlight.

To use this, set the localvar 'unhighlight_regex' on a buffer. Lines in
that buffer which match will never be highlighted, even if they have
your nick or match highlight_words or highlight_regex.

You will need the script 'buffer_autoset.py' installed to make local
variables persistent; see the examples below.

Examples:
 Temporarily block highlights in the current buffer for lines matching 'banana':
   /buffer set localvar_set_unhighlight_regex banana
 Unhighlight SASL authentication messages for double logins:
   /buffer weechat
   /buffer set localvar_set_unhighlight_regex SaslServ
   /buffer_autoset add core.weechat localvar_set_unhighlight_regex SaslServ
 List buffers with autoset unhighlights:
   /{script_name} list
 Show this help:
   /{script_name}
 Display local variables for current buffer:
   /buffer localvar
