ElementsMultiHighlight v1.1

Packager compatible.

Update 1: Some optimizations made to underlying code, with suggestions made by arian.

Also, fixed an issue where all elements in a collection would morph back to the last element's style in the collection instead of its own.

This plugin is based off the Element.highlight function but with a slight twist.

Call this method on a collection of Elements to transition their color properties on mouseeneter/leave.

Notice: If the background color is transparent it will be set to white!
