You must mean the derivatives; "highlight" has always been available. 
But "highlightedIcon" is not. Or was not.

I won't use it of course, I always go for the shortest possible amount 
of typing. Even "blendlevel" annoys me because it's too many characters. 
Mark Waddingham once mentioned he didn't like the abbreviations (cd, 
fld, grp, bg) and wanted to take them out, and I threatened to put out a 
contract on him.
