Is DynamicForm supposed to support Hilites?

[Blama]

Hi Isomorphic,

I just noticed that DynamicForm has also setHilites() javadoc'd.

Is this on purpose and expected to work or due to the fact that DynamicForm inherits from DataBoundComponent?
See this testcase (v10.0p_2015-05-19) I produced by chance (I wanted to apply to boundList, but just boundForm):

These APIs are not operable in any documented way on DynamicForm. If they were, there would be documentation explaining what they do..
