Re: keymap in yank-excluded-properties

   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?

Yes!  Because I am not likely to pay any attention to 
cua-set-rectangle-mark but might be curious about
set-rectangle-mark.  This is because I have no interest in cua
bindings.  I am sure others a similar.  Someone writing in CC mode,
for example, will not look there for Gnus related commands.

   Well, that is how it evolved ...  

I understand that.  It makes sense.  But now that I have learned about
this neat feature, I would like to try it.  However, I should not have
to worry that if it is part of the cua package it might change
keybindings on me; and I should not have to depend on reading this
list to discover a new, neat feature!

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

Right!

   > But if my understanding is correct, you have written a really nice feature!

   Try it out for yourself:

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

Please understand, since I do not trust CUA packages, I am going to
start a new instance of Emacs and experiment in that.  [time passes]

.... And I am glad I started a new instance, since the menu item says
it changed my keybindings on me.  (Which is fine if I want to change
my keybinding, but I don't.)
