I remap CTRL-L (which normally redraws the screen) to first turn
off highlighting and then chain to the original behavior, as
follows:

nnoremap <silent> <C-L> :nohlsearch<CR><C-L>

I like that it doesn't cost me a mappable key sequence, and it
seems to preserve the spirit of the original CTRL-L ("clean up
the screen"). It's also easy enough to get back the
highlighting by pressing "n" (for example).
