Why is the prefix important?

Does it matter whether the function bound to S-RET is named
cua-set-rectangle-mark or set-rectangle-mark?

Well, that is how it evolved ...  Basic CUA support , a little
rectangle support, more rectangle support, better CUA support,
rectangle highlighting, register support, global mark support, even
better CUA support, sign papers, split _most functionality_ into
base/rectangle/global-mark modules, install in CVS emacs.

A next step would be to make the rectangle and global mark features
completely self-contained, and then interface CUA to them.

Try it out for yourself:

Options->CUA-style cut and paste
S-RET
