Only today I realized how to address the long-standing complaint
that sometimes accidentally switching from the minibuffer (that
e.g. asks a yes/no question) remains unnoticed that leaves
the minibuffer active for a long time.
The solution was already invented long ago by minibuffer-depth-indicate-mode
that highlights the recursive minibuffer with the minibuffer-depth-indicator
face.
The same solution could be used to add a highlighting to the minibuffer prompt
after switching from the minibuffer that still remains active,
thus turning the attention to a possible problem.
I still have no idea where to implement this feature. Maybe in the same
package mb-depth.el? Then should it be a separate mode or better to handle
by a new option in the same minibuffer-depth-indicate-mode?
Should it reuse the same minibuffer-depth-indicator face
or add a new one?
