However there is a small bug in remember in the way it handles the
region. Beside that it would be nice if it used the region when it is
visible. Something like this in the beginning of remember:
(defun remember (&optional initial)
"Remember an arbitrary piece of data.
With a prefix or a visible region, uses the region as INITIAL."
(interactive
(list (when (or current-prefix-arg
(and mark-active
transient-mark-mode))
(buffer-substring-noproperties
(region-beginning) (region-end)))))
This is nice, but what was the conclusion about adding a special function
to check the active region with just one function call?
