I'm not sure I understand that. They're meant for places where none of the 
other styles can be used consistently, right? So there's no real consistency 
anyways. And configuring them shouldn't be too difficult, you can just look 
for the style which currently has the color you want to change in the config.

You'll always have highlights which have quite special needs (think of Diff, 
Gnuplot, git, or Xorg). You'll end up with badly abusing the other default 
styles in these cases, and then it's better to have a few styles designated 
for free use. Of course it would still be be preferable if languages would use 
the non-misc styles instead, so it wouldn't harm those which don't need them.

Greetings!
