Highlight Uses of a Tile/Get Number of Uses of a Tile

I'm limited to 256 tiles per area. I'm getting down the wire at 240 tiles. It'd be cool to have a toggle-able option (like the view tile numbers) that highlights all instances of the tile your mouse is over in the canvas. If my mouse is over tile 39 in the tileset, all uses of tile 39 on the canvas would turn gold (or something.)

This would be helpful to find tiles that are barely used/used once, and even identify other places the tile can be replaced. (You realized tile 39 can be replaced with tile 58 in one structure, but tile 39 is still being used in other places where tile 58 might fit.)

The current workaround is right click a tile, remove it and look for the change. Then undo.

It would also be nice to have the info panel (on its grand return) display how many times the tile the mouse is over is used. Less useful than the above, but still cool.

It's a nice idea, I will see what I can do.
