That was what I meant.  It would be a minor-mode that got turned on
temporarily when you did `set-rectangle-mark', and presumably turned
off when you do a C-w or hit C-g, or whatever (the minor-mode indicator
would provide a hint that things were slightly different than normal).

[However, sometimes when I'm rearranging a table or something, I'd like
C-SPC to set the rectangle mark instead of the normal mark]
