The doc string here is confusing (and wrong?)
--------
If non-nil, an active region automatically sets the primary selection.
If the value is ‘only’, only temporarily active regions (usually made
by mouse-dragging or shift-selection) set the window selection.
This takes effect only when Transient Mark mode is enabled.
--------
"window selection" should probably be "primary selection"? The "This"
is confusing -- is it referring to `only' or to all non-nil values? I
think it's the latter.
In any case, I think changing the default to `only' here would make a
lot of sense, but on the other hand, the t value has been the default
for a long time, so changing it now might just be too annoying.
Eli, what do you think?
