We don't normally switch transient mark mode on (even temporarily)
unless the user has requested so (with `C-SPC C-SPC', for instance). So
I still don't understand why this rectangle command should do so.
`C-x SPC' seems to work fine both with transient mode on or off, as far
as I can tell?
I suppose it does. I guess I originally did not appreciate how one could use rectangle-mark-mode
with a non-active region, but it seems to work as the me today expects, so I'll close this bug.
