I can see how it could drive you crazy. How about if C-x C-x does
not set mark-active (and C-u C-x C-x activates the mark) ?
Basically, I think that even people who dislike transient-mark-mode
might appreciate the ability to explicitly pass a region as
an argument (so that M-; behaves differently, as well as a slew
of other commands).
So if making transient-mark-mode the default is out of the question,
maybe we can at least provide a way to distinguish between an active
and an inactive mark.
By the way, why is mark-active always set when transient-mark-mode is nil ?
It seems that all the code that uses mark-active (at least the C code)
only looks at it if transient-mark-mode is non-nil, so why don't
we deactivate the mark regardless of transient-mark-mode ?
